Got our reason to why our 4 year old didn’t get the times we needed for 4yr old kinder: We didnt meet the criteria which included:
- Refugee/immigrant status (English isnt our second Language)
- Not poor enough/dependent on Centrelink (No health care card)
- Our kid isnt at risk of being taken or hurt.
So because we are Australian born, I earn too much (we live off my wage only and not eligible for free health care card) and our kid isnt at risk of being hurt we have the privelage of getting our last preference and worst kinder sessions.
But still pay $420 a Term
To think that if our kinder was full my 3yr old would miss out altogether for 3yr old kinder because it isn’t compulsory.
