DH has been offered a position in Brisbane and we are now going through the practicalities. The timing of the move is likely to be Oct/Nov so we are wondering what to do about schools. DD is currently in UK Reception so will start Year 1 this September. DS will start Reception this September, although he is young for his year (Summer birthday).
So.. if we arrive in Aus October-ish what is the best thing to do about schooling? DH thinks we maybe shouldn't bother until the new school year starts in Jan/Feb (is this right?). I think they would be better having a couple of months in school, even if it is not the same school as they will go to longer term once we find a house and figure out where we're living. And is DS too young to start school there anyway?
Any help /suggestions from people who have moved school aged children to Aus?
