Two sets of twins, who are also best friends, are preparing to take on their first foray into education together at Eynesbury Primary School.
When the four five-year-olds were just a few months old, mums Lauren and Nicola met by chance on Halloween.
The quad have been inseparable ever since.
Nicola said her pair Logan and James are apparently a little louder and more prone to risk-taking than Lauren’s Tommy and Finn, until they all get together.
The four boys together are loud, seem very similar and they all like similar things,” she said.
“The boys are very close and the seem to feel more secure knowing that they all have each other.
“They love to be around each other. They argue and fight like they are brothers.”
Lauren said the siblings will each be separated for their first classes, but each gets a best mate to start with instead.
“I’m nervous and excited,” she said.
“This is the first time they will be separated, they are nervous but relieved that they may not be starting school [classes] l with their brother but they get to start with their best friend.
“It will be nice for them to have some independence from each other, to learn and grow and explore and develop their own identity. It will also be nice for them to have a break from each other.”
Eynesbury Primary School opened in 2021, and begins term one in the week of January 29.
