Bob1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 http://www.det.wa.edu.au/curriculumsupport/earlychildhood/detcms/school-support-programs/early-childhood-education/home/calculator.en?oid=Article-id-11572345 don;t think of it as going back a year as it is two different systems, teaching different things and beginning and ending school at different times. Just work out what year he is in in Oz and don;t compare. they change year group at the end of the calender year - Dec, and enter the new year in feb.

He will go from being one of the youngest to one of the oldest in his year as the year runs 1st July to 30th June. Don't think of it as 'going back'. He will be with kids his own age. There will be work he has covered already and work he hasn't. Better than being in a year ahead and struggling to settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
