Information about School Holiday
School holidays are the days (or, more usually, weeks) in which schools are closed between academic terms. The terms "summer holiday" and "summer break" are often used to refer to the large break from school and university taken during summer (usually August and some time before and after). In England, the school summer holidays usually begin in July and last through until September. Scottish schools tend to start their holidays earlier and finish them earlier while in Ireland second level school holidays last from the beginning of June until the beginning of September unless a student is doing Junior or Leaving Cert. exams.
In England, there are a number of school holidays. The academic year usually begins during the first week of September, this period up until Christmas is known as Autumn Term. In the last week of October, there is a week off known as Half Term which is the halfway point between Summer and Christmas holidays. The Christmas holiday usually begins a few days before Dec 25 and ends a few days after Jan 1st. Again, there is a week off half way through the term (Spring Term) and a 2 week break for easter. After Easter is summer term and the 3rd half term break is the half way point to the summer holidays. Summer itself usually begins towards the end of July.
In Australia, the major school holiday is in the southern hemisphere summer and that ranges from Mid-December until the last day of January. Two weeks is then given in April during the Autumn, Another two weeks in July during the winter. The spring break is for two weeks and takes place in October.
School holidays have many effects on a country, ranging from the price of a vacation (increased while children are off school) to an increased crime rate.
There can also possibly be a decrease in traffic levels on some 'school run' routes and other 'commuter' roads as people take vacation time from work to spend time with their children.
Summer holidays for most children are a time to relax, enjoy and cover up on studies. Its also the time when most families go for an outing.
