Quoll Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It's his date of birth which is important, not the year he is in in a foreign country's education system. This will help http://www.det.wa.edu.au/education/ece/calculator.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is the same age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tandcmum Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 it's strange how it varies by age, as my daughter will start year 4 here in Scotland but will actually go into year 3 in Oz as her birthday is october 2003 Saying that the school system is even different here in Scotland than it is in England...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they changed around the year 2000 - so that it was how old your child was in July rather than Jan, even though the school year starts in Jan still. It's a bit confusing. I think it was done to move in line with the eastern states. You will notice on www.myschool.com.au for the napalm tests - wa scores less than the eastern states. Many people think this is because for most of these years that have been tested - wa kids are about a year younger than the eastern states kids. This should start to correct itself soon as the 2000 kids move have their yr 5 tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
