Yes, as he turns 6 after 30 April then this will be his first year of full time school - Prep - so he will be in year 1 (second year of full time school) in 2009. He has to legally attend school once he has turned 6 so you will be able to enrol him as soon as you arrive.
This may help you work it out

All depending on when your 4 year old turns 5 s/he will start either this year or next year in Prep (if your 4 yr old turns 5 before 30 April 2008 s/he could potentially be in the same year as your 6 year old!). One would be amongst the oldest kids in the class and the other would be one of the youngest!
