Starting school

[stacybird123]

Could anyone help,

I have a 4 year old son, we will be moving to QL in about 9 months. Iam looking for info as to how the schooling is, what age they start, because we are english will they accept and treat our child like other pupils???

Any advice would be appreciated.

As you may know I am the worryer of this site!

Cheers

I have a 4 year old daughter who is due to start school here in England in September.

I have a book that gives details on schooling in AU, and as far as I know the Australian school year runs from Jan to Dec compared to our Sept to Aug. Also, the children begin school the year they turn 6. So you may be in the same dilema as us, do you start your child at school in Sept or not. We have decided that Amelia will begin school here in September but on mornings only, because if we don't get the residential visa at least her schooling has not been upturned.

ya know I think that being that age will be fantastic for your son...My kids are 15 and 12 and they arent in the least bit worried, but i worry for them...I am sure they will be treated the same..and at 4 or 5 they will be starting school along with the other new children, so they wont notice any difference i am sure :)
