Now more than a week old, the first-cross triplets have found their feet, frolicking on the farm with their mother not far behind.
A competition to name the lambs attracted more than 300 entries.
Mount Austin High School teacher Phillip Boyd said the winning names will be locked by tomorrow, but Casper, Snowy and Shaun are looking like the front-runners.
He said the triplets have brought more students up to the farm during recess and lunch breaks since their arrival early last week.
Year seven student Mariah Boyland has described the lambs as absolutely adorable, but a surprise that shocked the whole school.
"It was really surprising and I never expected them to be so tiny," she said.
