Uni and school holidays don’t match – parents angry
April 13th, 2010 | By President
Jacob Carswell-Doherty – President
Lots of parents are angry that the mid-semester break does not coincide with normal school holidays. Currently, many parents are forced to bring their children onto campus (don’t mentiont he childcare problems) for two weeks, only to then have an entire week off to spend time with their children a week later, once the kids are back at school.
Surely it would be logical to have the mid semester break a week earlier so it links up with the last week of school holidays?
We also need free childcare for parents during school holidays!
