Bill Sheehan is one of the hundred's of new students who will be starting school in Dubbo in 2021 and his mother Susan admits both her and her son are excited.

"We are both pumped, Bill has spent time at daycare so he is used to being apart from Mum and Dad.

"He is very enthusiastic and eager to be part of something new," Ms Sheehan said.

While some parents and children can find the prospect of starting primary school daunting, Ms Sheehan feels her son will find his way at Macquarie Anglican Grammar School.

"I don't think it's really scary, he has a few mates at the school, and I know they will be looking out for him, so that makes it a lot easier." Ms Sheehan said.

Outside the classroom is always a great time, especially during summer and while Bill is not sold on the idea of wearing a tie, a school facility is on his mind.

"Bill is looking forward to going to school, although he's not too keen on the tie, he is very interested in the idea of a canteen and the footy fields," Ms Sheehan admitted.

School starts for students at Macquarie Anglican Grammar School on January 27.
