school years
Hi hoping someone can tell us what school year are kids would be in if born in Oct 94, July 96 and Oct 98. Can't get my brain to function properly to work it out. Also wanted to know if there are any good web sites that condense the education system at secondary level explaining when they have main exams ect, generally need to know everything about the secondary education system but there are to really loads of web sites its all so confusing.
Cheers

Re: school years
We're in WA. My daughter (born 1993) is in year 12, my son (born 1995) is in year 10. Looks like it's different according to state. Also cut-off dates were changed in WA, affecting anyone born in 1997-8 (I think).

Re: school years
Hi
So can anyone tell me what year do they start Secondary? Is it Year 7?
We would be in Qld - so not sure if that is the same. Oldest son was born Jun 98 - so I am presuming he would be Year 6 now and move into Year 7 in Jan 11.....
......or would he have started Year 7 this January???
Thanks for any help

qld school years go from jan - dec, in the uk our eldest daughter is in year 6 but her birthday is september, our other daughter is in year 5 here and in oz her birthday is in january, this causes lots of problems as the youngest thinks she should also be in the year higher too.....
hope this helps

Re: school years
hi our daughter was born in 98 and will be starting year 7 when we arrive in april, our other daughter was born in 2000 and will be in year 5 this is in qld, however sometimes at some schools children are either put up or down a year depending on ability but on the whole they try to stick to the correct year for there age.

Thanks for that. So your daughter born in 98 will start in Year 7 - so does she go straight to Secondary (the same as UK - when kids get to Year 7 they go to Secondary??)

Re: school years
yes we spent 2 1/2 years in oz the returned to the uk, and we were trying to get back by jan so she could start with everyone else, but we were unable to be there in jan so we are going in april (at the easter break) this means she has only missed 1 term we phone the school to see if there was anything we need to do so she wasn't to far behind, all they said was get her to read as much as possible so thats we have been doing.

We are doing a little bit of a tour (Brisbane, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Hervey Bay, Gold Coast then back to Brisbane International). Would maybe like to settle in Central Qld, but nothing definate yet. Really depends on employment opportunities. So as for schools not yet sure, but have had a look at some of the schools up in the Rockhampton area. Just have to sell the house first......
Good luck with your move back xx

Re: school years
So from what you are saying my son would probably be in Year 7 now - (as he was born Jun 98) - and would therefore start State Secondary in Year 8 next January??? Is that right?
Thanks

Re: school years
Therefore 1998 births in the same months will be in year 7 right now, and consequently year 8 from Jan 2011. In Queensland.
Other States may be different.
Her best friend in NSW, only 2 months younger, is only in year 8 at the moment.
