DD starts 4th Feb at 8.45am finishing 3.15pm with every Wednesday off until Vic Labour Day holiday in March. TBH I hoped they were just going to do the 5 full days. She is used to having two full days for creche when I worked (and she is still going until she starts school) and she had kinder three half days last year so she will be ok with the extra time at school. I know it will be different given they are 'learning' - she'll probably be more tired etc.... But I am confident she will transition easily.

I know for DD school the other year levels start on the 30th January.

I can't find decent runners for DD in a plain colour. I've tried Rebel, Mathers, Harris Scarfe and Myer. I am looking for brand name preferably and she is a size 10. If anyone has any ideas where else I can look, please share :-)
