Wishart State School prep mum Carolyn McLaughlin said her daughter, five-year-old Isobel, was a confident child and she was ready to say goodbye to her at the gates without walking her in if need be. I m excited for her and think she will love all the opportunities that school will offer her, she said. Meanwhile, Tina Pizzoni, mum of five-year-old prep student Nate, who will be attending Rochedale s St Peters Catholic Primary School, said she d prefer to be able to walk her little one to class. I would love to walk him into class but it is what it is and he is so ready for it and that is what is important.
