Today and over the next few days, many children will be either going to their first day of school or returning to school.

Remember big feelings are ok (for both them and you), it's ok to have a little cry, an extra tight hug and to feel those butterflies in your tummy.

You've done a great job getting them here, whether it's starting prep or a new year level, they have an exciting journey ahead of them this year 💜

Wishing everyone a great start (or return) to school for 2026!
