Re: Starting school
Hi Claire
If your daughter turns 6 in October, she will start Grade 1 in September. Her Reception year will have given her a good grounding in reading and writing for starting Grade 1 and she may be a little ahead of her peers for a few months but it will all even out during the course of the year. I personally think it's a great age to move kids as lots of kids are all starting Grade 1 together so they don't stand out as being new.

Re: Starting school
I will be studying a two year Social Service Worker Diploma, I already work in this field in the UK. The fees are $11470 for the two years which equates to around £6500. It is definately a route to explore but like I said in previous thread there are some restrictions - not able to work for first 6 months then only 20 hours a week for balance of course.
thanks claire
so no more expensive than going to uni here then (fees wise) - that's interesting to hear! worth bearing in mind...
