LYNBROOK Primary School will be seeing doubles for years to come as this year’s wave of preps break a school record.
All dressed up in pristine navy and orange uniforms, four sets of twins started prep at the school on Thursday 28 January.
A record breaking number, the eight boys and girls will be a part of the 147 preps which make up eight prep classes to start at the school.
Prep co-ordinator Xuan Lee said they were the largest number of twins the school has ever had in one year level.
“We’ve only had one or two sets in a year level at the most so it’s record breaking for the school,” Ms Lee said.
An excited Ms Lee said the school makes special arrangements for its twins.
“We respect the parent’s choices but we do suggest splitting up twins in neighbouring classrooms to allow them to develop their own personalities,” she said.
Five-year-old sisters Sneha and Nesha have been split up but they were looking forward to meeting up at recess.
And after just 20 minutes Nesha had already made her mind up about her new prep teacher.
“My teacher is a silly sausage,” she said.
