Starting school

[smiles4u]

To give you an idea, (though we are in regional Victoria)...

My daughter turns 3 on the 6th of May 2009, ... she will be doing two years of 3year old Kinder and then one year of 4year old Kinder.

So she will start 3year old Kinder the term after she turns 3 next year.

The Kindergarten Director said that they 'can' repeat 4year old Kinder if they feel the child is not ready for Prep !!

We decided it would be an advantage for her to start primary school older rather than 'too' young BUT then that's just our opinion.

I turned in 5 in Jan ... and DP 5 in March & our parents started us that year ... through our experience we felt it was a disadvantage for us even though we are Uni educated & had successful careers we felt that the 'older' pupils had an advantage over us when at school, especially in secondary school.
