Hi, my family and I have just moved to Abu Dhab so I don't really know if it's the same in Qatar. I have one in Year 4 (just started) in Australia and another in year 1. They will go into the same years as they are now (or were in Australia) however they will go up the next year (5&2) when the new year starts which is in September. So they will actually miss part of their current school years. My child in Year 1 will have the most trouble as he has only had a year of Prep in Australia and the first term of year 1. I would contact the schools over there if you haven't already and ask them which is the right year to put them in based on their ages. I know it's a bit confusing and stressful but it should all work out. Good luck!
Hi Abroad, I've just relocated with my family from Brisbane. I found it very hard to get my three kids into a school. I found that you have to contact the schools regularly. It took about 4 months to secure a place but I now have all three into the same school. What area are you living in? Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to chat.
