I am a kindergarten teacher in the public school system in NSW. You are right... a child MUST attend school by the age of 6. I jsut had a little boy in my class who did not attend school or any type of preschool/learnign environment and when the hislow (school attendence officer) got hold of it they basically force the parent to enrol the child. IF worst comes to worst, your child can repeat kindergarten (this happens to a few children) and is not a big drama.

I am so sorry your little boy has had to go through this. If possible at all I would look at small schools for your son as in my experience children are more accepting of other children. He may find it less confronting as well.

Good Luck Hun. Pm me if you want more info on it but you can always ring the Dept of Education
