Identical twins Victoria and Tia (pictured) will join hundreds of students across Brimbank on February 6 as the bell rings for a fresh school term.
The five-year-olds from Taylors Lakes are excited to attend Overnewton Anglican Community College.
According to their mum Evelyn Loulakis, the sisters will support each other through their first-day nerves.
“I saw other preppies starting school and how emotional they all were, and for me knowing that my girls have got each other is comforting,” she said.
“It’s also bittersweet because they’re my only kids so I’m a bit sentimental about that.”
For Victoria and Tia, however, there’s no limit to their enthusiasm.
“They’re so excited, they’re mostly looking forward to making new friends,” Ms Loulakis said.
“Tia is very outspoken and outgoing, Victoria is a little bit more sensitive but she’s also come out of her shell a lot — having her sister will give her more confidence.
“Even if they do separate activities, at the end of the day they’ll find each other.”
