The school start age varies per state, and its the minimum age they can start at, most let you hold back one year I think.
From 2007, the Queensland Government will have a statewide Preparatory Year. It will be an exciting first step for students in the crucial early phase of learning. Like pre-school, the Prep Year will not be compulsory.
The introduction of Prep will be followed in 2008 by a six-month increase in the school starting age. To start Year 1, children will have to turn six by 30 June (instead of 31 December) in their first year at school.
I am not sure about preschool/kindergarten prices in QLD, here in Victoria it varies per shire/council area.
In mine for 2008 the fees for pre-school are:
Term fee for 10 hours per week = $137.00
Term fee for 12 hours per week = $175.00
Term fee for 14 hours per week = $235.00
There are 4 terms per year in Victoria, so $548-$940 yr.
