Thanks, I will have a chat to her pre-prep teacher, though as great as she is, I don't find her very approachable. Anyway Im going in to spend the day there soon so I should have a good chance then.
Is prep in QLD still voluntary? That's the only reason I thought it might be ok to send her 4 days. As soon as I go on hols from uni I'll ring them up and ask for a tour (do state schools do that?) and I can talk to them about it then- see what they suggest. I wouldn't want to get her behind but, well you know.
nickle I didnt realise that it was based on that - makes alot of sense, though she is tall for her age and I can't imagine holding her back altogether. I wish they still did prep/pre-school at the c&k she's at now - think it would have made a big difference. It might just take her longer to settle in.
Oh well THanks very much for your replies. I'm sure it will work out, perhaps I'm just a worrying mummy lol. I think I'll feel better after I talk to her school. And maybe they really do grow alot in the next 6months
