Last exam for me is on December 23, 2009. Then I get 1 and 1/2 weeks off until school starts again.

I'm off Dec. 23 - Jan. 4. :( Summer break for me is usually around 2 and a half months. Not long enough, if you ask me. lol

Gavin63 do you have to use all your holidays up each year or can you save them and maybe go on a nice long holiday some other time?

[quote=Gavin63]Enjoy your long breaks as when your working you won't be getting that many :( I get 5 weeks a year and that is only as I work shifts. Most office workers here only get 4 wks[/quote] Wow, that's lucky in a way. I work casually, but I still do almost the same hours as a full time worker, and for the past two years I haven't had ANY holidays at all, haha. It sucks, because technically I'm not entitled to them because I'm not part-time or full-time.

In Estonia the last day of school is 23.dec. We go back on 11.jan, so we have almost 3 weeks :)

We pretty much have to clear the 5 weeks each year but we do get long service leave of 13 weeks every 7 years so that year we can have 18 weeks off with our annual leave as well I feel sorry for the poor casual worker is the best way for an employer to rip off the employees entitlements
