So can you help me to work this out

[Mum2Romone]

When would my son go to kinder. He was born 2/11/2008. I just saw the previous post and was wondering.

So do they start at 5 now? not 4 1/2yrs old
What year would He start school?

I would think start of 2013 as he will have turned 4 by then.

I would actually say 2014, because he wouldn't be old enough in 2013 to go to school, because he was born in November. But that is in NSW. I'm not sure if it is different in other states. So rather than going to school at 4 and 3ish months, he would go to school at 5 and 3ish months. I think that's right.....

She asked about kinder which is why i said 2013 school would be 2014

[MrsFabuloso]

In NSW, kinder is the first year of school.

Yeah kinder = Big school in NSW LOL. It's confusing alright! M2R, it will be 2014 before he can start big school/kindergarten but you can send him to preschool for the two years before that - one year as a 3yo in 2012 and then one year as a 4yo in 2013.
