Primary Schools
Primary education consists of seven grades: a preparatory year (commonly called "pre-primary") followed by Years 1 to 7. The minimum age at which a child can commence primary school education is 4.8 years. That is, the child can enrol in a school at the preparatory level if he or she would be five years of age by 30 April of that year. A child must commence education before age six.

Famous quotes by primary schools:
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
