Re: Monday after Anzac day - do the schools have a day off?
dont think so mate - if I remember, Anzac Day is not a formal public holiday and you dont get a day off in lieu if it is on the weekend...
on that basis, I reckon schools would be open as normal.

This year 26th is on a Monday so that's the public holiday. Last year it was on a Sunday, and the Monday was a school day http://education.qld.gov.au/public_m.../holidays.html

I take it back - I'm completely wrong - it is a Public Holiday!!
So schools should be shut I reckon.

Next year, 2011, will be even more confusing as Anzac Day and Easter Monday will fall on the same day. WA is having Tuesday 26th Feb 2011 as a special public holiday so that they'll still have their 10 public holidays. However, Qld isn't. Haven't looked up what the other states are doing. Will be interesting to find out?! 
Our elder daughter starts school next year so I'll soon need to pay attention to school holidays.
