Gbye grey sky Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Can't help with the question but wouldn't your daughter be in year 4 and your sons in years 8 and 11 in UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moobobs Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My daughter is 2. She would go to full time school in September 2016 but in oz it would be January 2017. From what I've researched on it, it's pretty similar to uk aside from start dates with regards to term dates etc. We have found the Kindy and nursery arrangements hard to grasp! That's a lot different to but from reception up seems pretty similar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We checked online and it was saying 12-13 years would be year 7 primary in WA but secondary in other states which would mean our middle son going back to primary for a year which isn't good after doing a term at secondary already.... And the catchment areas for each school isn't clear.... Looks like I will have to visit a few schools when I get back to Perth next week....

Quoll Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Australia this is a good place to start 9 yr old yr 4 in 2014 (assuming turning 10 in Aug 2014) 12 yr old yr 7 (assuming turning 13 Sep 14) 15 yr old yr 10 (assuming turning 16 Nov 14) The middle child may well have to spend the year in primary but I believe they are gradually moving yr 7 into secondary - 2015 I think but some schools already do it (privates). Ah the joys of moving to a foreign country, goes with the territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
