Last day of Term – not quite

If it were not for the Rugby World Cup would all be heading into two weeks holiday.

Principal Greg Chalmers spoke to the Aucklander yesterday and expressed what most students and teachers are thinking.

“Mr Chalmers says the long terms are a "real stressor" on school life. 'I think we had just got used to the 10-week terms and the extra week has made it seem disproportionately long. The kids and teachers are tired'.” 

But then with an eight week term at the end of the year it might feel a short hop to the summer holidays, admittedly, reports need to be written and parents met with.
Hosting the World Cup does not come around often, I’ll be surprised if I see it again in my lifetime so its good to know that the country is behind this endeavor. With the school terms being manipulated this year the implication is that employers around the country need to also be more flexible as parents request annual leave to coincide with their kids vacation.
I guess, if the All Blacks win all will be forgiven.
