New years holiday dates

[kingstonkid]

Hi.  Every year the government plans extra dates for holidays.  Has anyone heard what they are going to be this year?

With all the holidays they have been handing out New Years should be interesting?  It is interesting also that none of the schools have said anything yet so I guess we will wait until the last minute announcement LOL

even working as a teacher working in schools I found they were always last minute announcements, (and not just holidays, Parents Meetings, et al) they are scared to put dates on paper to the main part in case something makes them change the dates and they lose face, or so it appeared to me.

Yeah I was there when I taught in schools.  Show up and they tell you that you are not teaching today or that your classes have been cancelled because they have a sports day or something.

 

In this case though it is not the schools problem it is the GOVERNMENT not announcing anything yet.  It will be interesting for schools as if they do only the 3 days before then we are looking at kids and businesses supposedly open for 1 day.

 

Figure the odds.

The 31st and 1st are usually holidays, and conveniently fall on Thursday and Friday, so looks like another 4 day weekend for those who work.

For those who work, a four day weekend is generally a good thing.

For those who don't work, but have children or grandchildren of school age, it's generally a good thing - can go on a short family holiday, or just spend time with them at home.

For those who don't work, and have no young children, it's generally a bad thing, as two normally quiet days of the week are filled with more traffic and noisy holiday makers.

 

(I fall in the second category, so am looking forward to it).

They have 12 months lead time to plan around that.
