What are your terms like?

[webman]

Our holidays. The dates differ between several days, sometimes upto 2 weeks depending on each area's LEA.

[Norphy]

We get two weeks at christmas, two weeks over easter and six weeks from July to September. We also get a week at the half way point during each term. I don't recall the exact dates at the moment but to be honest since I'm full time I don't pay that much attention to them anyway

[russdev]

Jon how about for the wiki write us a little bit about how auzzie education system works....

slightly OT, we have got an exchange teacher from auz, and he was like OMG! I start teaching on the 4th Jan! and ours out there was like holiday by the bucket load! But it swaps round at summer of course, they get more like a "half term" and we get 6 weeks (well the teachers do, were 53 weeks a year)
