The sylabus is totaly different from that in SA. the kids also do not write exams about the whole school year's work. The school year is devided into 4 terms and they are evaluated every term only on that terms work. School holidays in ACT is from 8 to 25 July. It will be good if he could start school as close as possible to the start of the new term. Also people tend to move around a lot in Auz and he will definitely not be the only new kid in his class."Have in the canberra arrivals.Later T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehulls Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Meintjies,Also have three boys 11, 8 and 5. We moved them at the beginning of the school year (they were made to jump a year) and then we moved them again to a new town in the October. They have all done quite well anyway so I don't think you will have too much to worry about - as long as they have a good support system at home, they will adapt to whatever the circumstances at school.Liesl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
