The family from Kewell dropped their eldest daughter off at Holy Trinity Lutheran College in Horsham on Wednesday morning where the five-and-a-half-year old will start prep.

"She is very excited but it is so nerve wracking because I don't know what to expect," Mrs Adams said. "I just worry all the time. I hope she will make friends."

Despite their concerns, Mr and Mrs Adams have removed some of the unknown by sending Boh to the place where they began their formal education.

"It was a pretty easy decision for us to send her there because we went there as well," she said. "The fact that it's a Christian school was also a factor for us as we are both religious.

"I also like the things they offer there in terms of education and opportunities."

Mrs Adams said Boh loves craft and took after her interest in sport.

"She is a very social active little girl so she will be very good in PE (physical education). At school I was definitely into the sporty side of things," she said.

With Boh now at school, the family have two other children at home and one on the way, with Mrs Adams 40 weeks pregnant with their fourth child.

"It's been a busy time."
