"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 />
