    I would send her next year, but give her full time pre school this year. Most schools in my area discourage you from sending them if thier birthday is after April, as they usually are just not ready, and end up being kept back at some point. But you know your daughter best!! maybe ask the school what they think? Starting school too early can be very detrimental. If she goes this year, will that make her a year younger than all of her friends as well? Will she graduate at 17 instead of 18? She may be put into "younger" sports teams if she's in a different age brackett too... Not sure if I helped or not, but good luck!!

    ETA: Now I know what I mean...in NSW the "norm" is they have their 6th bday in kindy, and their 18th in year 12. If your daughter goes this year, she'll turn 18 6 months after graduation. Hope thats clearer, sorry!!
