WHEN Prep student Sam Lillie strolls through the gates at Parkwood Green Primary School on Thursday, he will be embarking on the first of many days at school but he will also be reaching a milestone for his mum Andrea Houlden. Ms Houlden will watch on as her third and youngest child starts school. Ms Houlden said to see her son’s excitement made many of her own nerves disappear. Sam is looking forward to being at the same school with his two older sisters Jessica in Grade 4 and Rachael in Grade 2 and going to the canteen. 92411 Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI
