Does anyone have a general idea of how the school calendar goes in the Perth area? For example when in December does the Christmas break begin and when do kids return to school? Is there another extended vacation as well? Two or three weeks? Any idea when?

Thanks,
Paula

Check out the following for dates

and of course http://www.eddept.wa.edu.au/ will give you pretty much everything else. Not in Perth yet but this seems to cover quite a bit.

Thanks so much this is very helpful.

Absolute pleasure, there are also a bunch of publications on that site: http://www.eddept.wa.edu.au/cpr/publications.htm which make for good reading.
