My little girl was born 9th June 2008 and I'm finding it hard to work out when she can go to kinder and school.

If the cut off date is 30th April, does that mean she can't go to school until Jan 2014 when she's 5 1/2?

So, she'd go to kinder Jan 2013 at 4 1/2?

What is with 3 year old kinder - can anyone do it or is it just Aboriginal/Torres Strait kids and those 'known to child services'?

IS it easy to get a place in Yarra Ranges shire? We live in Belgrave.

Sorry for the questions, but this is really confusing!
