First Day of School Gallery 2024

The First Day of School is always an important milestone for kids, whether they’re starting daycare, Kindy, Year 3, Year 7 or Year 12! It’s usually a time for a new teacher, some new classmates… and no doubt a pair of shiny new shoes. Taking a photo on that big first day is a rite of passage, but in years to come, it’s helpful to remember what year it was when they’re holding up a sign!

For the last eight years, North Shore Mums has released a set of First Day of School signs – which go from daycare right through to Year 12. And 2024 is no different.

Thank you to all the families who shared their special ‘first day of school’ photos with us. After looking through hundreds of gorgeous photos, we’re delighted to share our favourite photos from North Shore Mums families of local kids on their First Day of School for 2024. It wasn’t easy to choose just 10 finalists from all the beautiful photos, but it has to be done!
