School starting age?
Just wondering if anyone can help me clear this up?
I have registered both boys at quite a few schools now. But, Mr J and I were talking (will still do you know
) and decided to register at one of the 'best' schools in Perth.
All is well but they say the boys will be starting in 2010 and 2011 respectively. This is odd as all the other schools have them starting in 2009 and 2010. When I questioned the lateness the Registrar said that the rules have changed or something. Very confused
Their DOB are 23-09-03 and 14-05-05.
Any clues? I don't want Tiddler 2 year old starting school when he's nearly 6 and a 1/2!!!!!
Cheers all,
Mrs J
