Hi, I'm new to this and looking for some help/advice.
Over the past 6 months my maternal health nurse has been monitoring my sons development. At 18 months it was recommended that we do something a bit more formally documented.
At 18 months he completed a 12-23 month brigance with a score of 100.
On that same day he then completed the 2 year old brigance with a score of 84.
Last week(2nd birthday).. my son completed the 2 yr old brigance again scoring 100. He then went on to complete the 3.5 yr old brigance with a score of 83.
So at 2 years old he is already scoring above the detecting score for talent and giftedness of a 3.5 year old.
Following all of this my maternal health nurse has recommended I start looking in to Kindergarten and following with the process of school.
Unfortunately my son was born on the 8th of May, putting him 8 days AFTER the Victorian School Age entry cut off.
All I am looking to achieve is that he not necessarily begin school a year early, simple start school in the year that he turns 5.. in May, not April.
Has anyone dealt with the process of early school entry with the DEECD?
I've failed to get any guidance or answers from bother kindergartens and school. So please if you have any experience with this can you send me in the right direction.
I apologise that this is so long,
Thanks in advance,
Mum trying to be organised.
