Leonie Fitzgerald shares her motherhood journey. After six years of trying, she was surprised to learn they were expecting triplets. Doctors put her in a medically-induced coma upon giving birth to her three babies.
April 10 is a special day for Leonie Fitzgerald and her miracle triplets as it is National Siblings Day. The bond between her three daughters is unbreakable, according to the 45-year-old mother, following their traumatic birth last year.

A science-and-technology centre equipped with rolling robots has been launched at Dandenong South Primary School.
Students drove the Sphero BOLT robots through obstacle courses, and staged science experiments during the opening of the Discovery Centre on 30 March.
They will practise skills such as basic coding using the robots, as well as conduct investigations in the centre.
Dandenong South Primary principal Leonie Fitzgerald said the aim was to foster critical and design thinking, creativity and collaboration.
“Fostering these skills in students at our school, who come from predominantly low socio-economic backgrounds, has a profound impact on their future career pathways.”
