"We have had two<br />
and three sets of<br />
twins, but five is<br />
extraordinary."<br />
It’s a time of new beginnings, from our littlest<br />
learners starting Kindergarten to those embarking<br />
on their high school journey, and all their parents.<br />
New classrooms, new routines, new friends, new<br />
shoes!<br />
At Good Shepherd Primary Plumpton, there was<br />
triple the excitement as they welcomed three sets<br />
of twins to their Kindy cohort. Zyron and Zekias,<br />
Barkon and Yohanan along with Jasveen and<br />
Kudrut instantly connected with their fellow twin<br />
friends on the first day of school.<br />
Sending one child off to school is a big moment<br />
for any parent, let alone two! For the parents<br />
of the twins at Good Shepherd, their choice of<br />
school was a decision rooted in trust and a shared<br />
commitment to values-based education.<br />
"Good Shepherd offers good values, respect,<br />
welcoming... all the sort of things I already teach<br />
at home but to have that reinforced at school is<br />
wonderful," said Zekias and Zyron’s mum Natalie.<br />
