My twins birthday is 4th April so they would just get in. they could have gone to school this year as they would turn 5 before the end of April. But we decided against that a few years ago, so they did 2 years of 3 yr old kinder (they started the first year in term 2 as soon as they turned 3, they loved, so I am glad I started them straight away) and they are doing 4 yr old kinder this year, they will be 5 nearly 6 when they start school next year so they will be the older kids at school
I am very happy with this decision I spoke to heaps of people and most said especially with boys it is best to start later. Not just now but for high school too.
I felt since we had made the decision earlier it was easier for them to repeat 3yr old kinder than 4 yr old kinder, also I doubt they would have been able to repeat 4 yr old as they didn't have any communication problems etc and unless their was a problem you can't always get funding to dod 4yr old a second time.
