My DD is an April baby and currently a young grade 2. I have been hearing this rumour since she was in kinder! Apparently, the cut off will be changed so that a child must have had their 5th birthday in the calendar year prior to starting prep.

My son is currently 4 yo kinder (but an August babe so no big decisions about him starting prep next year!) and I still hear these rumours occasionally. I did ask his teachers a few months ago, who stated that they had heard the rumours for several years but not had any official notification. Sooo... I really have nothing to add but more rumours!!!
