Guest riknbev Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi everyone I wondered if anyone could offer some advice. We are planning on migrating over to Perth in 2012 and we have 3 children, our youngest will be 4 . At the moment in the UK she is in reception class and doing really well , what would be our options in Oz ? is they anything part time , or pre school ect ? Ideally we would like to wait until the starting year but we feel my wife may need to find work therefore we may have a childcare issue. If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger2shirts Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Kindegarten is readily available and very good. When you get here make sure you register for everything as soon as possible, i.e, tax file numbers so you get the full state benefit against any costs.

JoandGareth Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi there, we have just been to Perth to validate our visa's, and whilst we were there looked into schooling as we have a 3 year old if their birthday falls between 01/07/2007 to 30/06/2008 they can start kindergarten in 2012 which is only 2 days per week they will then start pre-primary in 2013 which is full time. Both of these are non-compulsary and once they are full thats it so best to get registered as soon as you arrive. School year starts on 1st Feb till middle of Dec. Hope this helps.
