The April 30 cut off makes no logical sense to me and I am from Vic. There is talk if it bring changed to the end of the year but who knows if it will change. It gets confusing with child care and child care based kinder as they often go by age rather than the April 30 cut off. Ds is now in a 3yo kinder room even though he won't start kinder until next year and a friends child is in the 4yo kinder room but he won't start until next year and the friends he makes now will go to school before him which seems silly.
