Kingscote sixth form

[chezzachez.livejournal.com]

I've been puzzled as to whether the sixth at Kingscote is one year or two. I think that in FL it says that Rowan is going to miss two years of school; but then Jan Scott in CT is, I think, referred to as having been in teams with Rowan and the sixth with Kay. And surely Lois was in the upper fifth with Rowan, but then stays on, but just for one year? Can anyone shed any light?

That's so confusing :-) I'm an Australian but I did attend a girls' school that tried to imitate English schools as well as it could! So for a few years I remember them doing that, using 'lower fourth' and 'upper fourth' and so on before giving up and going back to using Year 8 - 12. But it did help me when reading the Kingscote and other school stories. :-)
