Thanks for the reply (and for typing all that up!)

Interesting how the school year gets split up in terms. In the US its usually just seen as one big chunk of time usually from September to June with some holidays, winter and spring break in between. Though it seems it's about the same length, I think I would have appreciated the thought of having breaks inbetween terms, haha. I was just wondering whether the Australian system also goes by season than by what month it is. I wonder what the reasoning is behind starting school in fall and ending in summer.

Congratulations on your son's graduation. Now he's free to study what he wants to study Any idea on what major?
