Hi Niamh- Adam would probably go into grade 2 next year and as aussienic said, Iain will be eligible for Prep next year - similar to preschool but they attend 5 days full time - the same as the rest of the school. The school year generally starts the end of Jan, beginning of February. Prices will depend on whether you send them to a State Run school, Catholic or Private. My daughter is in Prep at a Catholic school and we pay $191 per term. State schools don't charge fees - but i'[m sure there are levies etc that you might have to pay. (not certain on that though)
