Just in general. When does it start and when does it end? When are the breaks if you have any, like summer break? In America it starts at the end of August and ends at the end of May. Then summer break is June and July. So phrase it like that.

Katie, the last time I tried to answer this I got it screwed up, they call it school terms, where we call it semesters. I think one of the locals will be better served answerring this one.

Our school year starts in February (or late January) and ends about a week before Christmas. We are divided in two semesters, each with 2 terms (4 in total). Each term is about 10-11 weeks and there are 2-week breaks in between each term.

I'm on summer break at the moment. Summer break is normal the start of December to the end of January. Then we have about 10 weeks school and the 10 days off during easter then we have another 10 weeks of school then 2 weeks off for the June/July holidays then we have another 10 weeks school and another 2 weeks holiday in September then it is the summer holidays again.
