From memory, it was two weeks in May, two weeks in August, last week (or two) of December and all of January. That was it.

I can't say I dislike the idea of school holidays being restricted to 4 weeks a year.

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Primary, intermediate look like they get a week extra
Secondary schools no change, looking at half days of teaching a year.

Yes, the issue is more about kids applying for Annual Leave rather than be structured to the school schedule. Not that they get the same Annual leave as employees
