Starting school

[Muppity]

So she will be 4 and 2 months when she starts? To me that sounds a bit young.

This is from the NSW Dept fo Education web site - by my reading of it Lily would be too young to start next year.

What is the right age?
Children may enter Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year in NSW government schools if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year.

Some gifted or talented children may be ready to start school at an earlier age while others may benefit from being a little older. By law, all children must start school by their sixth birthday.

Yeah see that is what confuses me because i went to school with people who were still 4 after July and they weren;t gifted or talented. I thought it was young too but they have all got me thinking.
