Guest mikelou&har Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi, This is my first post so bear with me! I am looking for advice on kindy, my son has just turned 2 in January. What age do they start kindy here and how long in advance do you need to apply? I have been looking at St Andrew's Catholic school in Clarkson and am quite interested in sending him there. Also, I am slightly confused as it says on their website that kindy is government funded for 11.5hrs per week, so does this mean that I wouldn't have to pay fees for him whilst he is in kindy? Sorry for sounding a bit dim! Still trying to get used to the way of working here lol. Any advice greatly appreciated. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevieb Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Lou Have a look at The Department of Education - Schools and You - Kindergarten and pre-primary There's also Childcare benefit & childcare rebates to consider.

Guest mikelou&har Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks for your quick response! I'm just on the 457 visa at the moment so im sure were not entitled to any form of childcare rebate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
