Not her again...question about the KHDA & starting kids in Term 3 of school
Sorry to keep bombarding you all with questions. Hopefully at some point I can pass the knowledge transfer on to other newbies.
This one is a question about getting kids into schools - particularly at the beginning of your Term 3. I've spoken to a shool registrar over there who intimated that it was by no means a fait accompli that my children would be able to start 1 May. In fact, I was told it was "at the whim of the KHDA" and that they may not be able to start until September.
Another parent has told me that the above was consistent with her experience, though that was some years ago, so perhaps not as many school options in Dubai...
If this happens to us, adn taking into account the Australian school terms, it would mean my children would be almost 5 months without school and almost surely a drop in grade for them upon return to Australia which obviously we don't want. It would also impact their ability to settle in Dubai, make friends etc etc.
What has been your experience in getting your kids enrolled and starting in schools in Term 3 of the Dubai year? Has anyone had any problems with this and had to wait till September?
In case it is relevant, my children are primary aged - 5 and 9.
TIA
