I am hoping one of the WA girls can help with this. I teach kindergarten in NSW whici is the mandatory 1st year of formal schooling. Children must start by the year they turn 6.

I have a little boy in my class moving to WA and we are confused as to whether he should go to prep or Yr 1 over there.
In kindy we do phonics and learning to read and they are starting to write for themselves too.

Any help would eb greatly appreciated, BTW he will be 6 in July.
