sunrise 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 So the schools here use the US term format? In Oz the school year finishes at the end of the year, not in March/April. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I know - it makes sense to run the school year to the calendar year (to us), but I think most countries work it so that the end/start of the year allow for a long summer holiday. But we Aussies went and stuffed up a perfetc system by making the school year from Feb - Dec, yet the intake year from July to June! Thanks to anomolies in the education system my eldest is in Year 12 (final year) at 16, the next two will be in year 12 at 17yrs, and the baby will be 18yrs old in Year 12!!

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah rach, in fact I'm sure that it differs by the odd week depending where in Scotland you are. Glasgow goes back the week before Dundee I think. Link to post Share on other sites
