I know we are all trying to get our heads around Christmas but I am putting together a calendar as a pressie and have just seen that Easter Monday is on Anzac Day!! So we have 1 less public holiday next year  , not that public holidays mean much as a SAHM but it still stinks!------------- Lindsey

And Waitangi Day is on a Sunday. At least on Easter Monday most things will have to close to 12pm, so that is something ------------- http://lilypie.com">

You can find the 2011 school opening dates http://www.minedu.govt.nz/theMinistry/EducationInNewZealand/SchoolTermsAndHolidays/2011SchoolTermsAndHolidays.aspx - here (each school can choose when it starts though so may pay to find out from your locals) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| When I was teaching, I remember thinking about 2 years ago "2011 is going to be such a crappy year" ...becuase of the messy long/short terms and lack of public holidays. Thankfully, I am a SAHM now! |

| Our school is doing Term1: 31 Jan- 15 Apr. Term2: 2 May- 15 July. Term3: 1 Aug- 7 Oct. Term4: 25 Oct (labour day is 24th!)- 16 Dec. So Term 1 & 2 are longer than normal, & term 4 shorter. Term 1 will be tough- normally the most tiring with all the swimming, extra sports, camps etc, then it being longer & without the Easter sanity break, =(. I suspect I'll have three very tired children by April! |
