Quoll 5,855 Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) As long as he has turned 5 by 30 June of the year that he plans to start his first year of full time schooling in the January he should be ok. However if his birthday is c Apr/May/June they may suggest he waits a year before starting so he could be 6 starting school. Remember it’s a foreign country with several completely different education systems and a different academic year (Jan-Dec) usually 9-3 but many schools have before and after school care Edited November 3, 2019 by Quoll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
