Changing states.. Change of schools

[sweetpea678]

From reading the SA schoolmeducation site, the transition should be fairly easy.

Preschool/kindergarten in SA is preschool in NSW is for kids the year before primary school.

Reception in SA is the same as kindergarten in NSW. Then the school years are the same from then on.

We have moved around heaps including interstate, everything is much more straight forward now year 1 is year 1 across the country and so on.

You'll have to do new enrolment forms but my kids have never been accessed when changing. If you know which school your kids are going to be moving to ask the current school to send the files through at the end of the year, check with the new school once you get there and if you don't know make sure the new school requests them once you move. One of our moves took 12 months to get DS's records sent through, it was a joke! And don't take any of the "we can't send them across states" poo either, it's not at all true!
