"I went down to the prep gate of my daughter’s school yesterday to watch her and all her little friends who she’s been at that school with since she was four leave."

Amanda continued: "They all came out of the gates, all in tears… except my daughter. It was like, 'I don’t know why everyone’s crying, mummy, we’re gonna see them in year seven in the mix school'.
