And they’re off!
It’s the first week of school in Ascot and traditionally, the busiest day for social media posts of the year. And emotions are running high if emoji count and word play are anything to go by.
Instagram and Facebook have been flooded with sweet first day pics from parents, who are captioning with some mighty cryptic shit as they grapple with their rollercoaster feelings. You may like to check on your mates this next week or two and book an icebath if anyone needs to chill the fuck down.
For the one or two laggers who haven’t posted yet because it maybe all too much, you have 24 hours before it’s last weeks’ news. Why not look to some of these example posts from the 4007 front line socials (shared with permission) this past week for inspiration?

Posting should subside next week as we officially move to week two of the school year and anxiety levels calm across the suburb to make way for gin cocktails at tennis.
Happy school year everyone!
