We booked DD into several schools the week she was born too .
We are in the same boat as you Nutter and have decided on the 2015 school just this week. The head wants her to start next year but that could mean that she is a full 2 years younger than some if the kids in the class (specially the boys) and we don't feel the need to rush her.

I've read all the NAPLAN results etched but also the demographics on my school etc. the one public one that we considered (we ruled out several for various reasons) has bad NAPLAN results but also has more than 40% migrant population with little or no English spoken at home which I think will skew the NAPLAN a lot.

My thinking for primary school is that it is so much more about being exposed to new experiences, learning how to behave and get along with others and I know that I'm informed enough to know what academic standards she should be meeting and teaching DD how to learn and research and making sure myself that she is reaching her full potential academically.

So while I think NAPLAN results are interesting I know they aren't the be all and end all, you just need to see here how many people choose to exclude their kids, and it's so much about the feel of the school.
I'm the crazy lady who goes to the fetes of schools I'm interested in, and drive across town to walk my dog past during lunch times etc. and if I'm in a playground where a kid is wearing the uniform of a school I'm immediately quizzing the parents. Lucky we have made our decision...I think people were starting to avoid the socially awkward woman who asks way too many questions...
