    400 students last count at DS's school (prep-7 catholic school) with 3 prep classes of 23 students each. The first year they had a third class. From memory there are 2 classes of approx 23 kids of each other grade.

    ETA - We live in Nth Qld, not really a small town but not large by city standards. This school is one of the smallest ones, there is a public primary school with 3000 students (7 prep classes of 27 kids )

    3-4 Prep Classes of 18-22 Students is what we told when we toured but will find out next week at orientation. It is ~ 400 place school
    DS knows nobody as he kinder/daycare a suburb over. I actually worry about it but i dont think he is a particularly socially anxious child so crossed fingers he goes ok.
    He will miss his aunties though.

    DS has 11 in his kindy. There are about 60 in the school. 11 is big for them! DD was the only kindy when she started at a different school 12 in the school.

    We went to a private school as kids & averaged about 20 to a class, but the year my younger sister started they had to split the class because they had over 40. Similar sized town at the time (maybe a little bigger).
