Young Lilly will be among the thousands of children in Wyndham starting school within the next two weeks.
Five year-old Lilly will begin her prep studies at Derrimut Heath Primary School in Hoppers Crossing, which is part of Baden Powell College, on February 4.
Proud mum Emma said that on the first day of school, the entire family – including her younger daughter Aurelia, 2, and six-month-old son Spencer – would visit Lilly’s grandparents’ house before embarking on a walk to the Derrimut Heath campus.
Emma said that Lilly was feeling a little shy and nervous about her first day in class, but that she was very interested in the process of buying her uniform and school supplies.
“She actually really enjoyed doing that,” Emma said.
However, Lilly has voiced concerns that she might miss her family’s company.
“She has said she will miss me,” Emma said.
“She often also asks if school is one day on, one day off, like kindergarten is.”
