Australian university holiday time

Holidays are very happy for all students, so some situations of Australian university holidays are also of concern to international students. There are still some differences between holidays in Australia and those in China, so when do Australian universities usually have holidays? Here is a brief introduction to the holiday arrangements of Australian universities. 1. When do Australian universities usually have a holiday? Australian universities also have winter and summer vacations. The winter vacation before Christmas at the end of February lasts about 1 month. Summer vacation is usually from the middle and late May to the end of August or early September. There is also spring break, usually in March or April, about 1 week-10 days. Winter vacation = Thanksgiving holiday, in the third week of November. Christmas+New Year holiday is the last week of June 12 to1the first week of October 10, and summer vacation is from June to September. The Spring Festival is also a holiday, but the standards of different continents are different and the time is different. Some as long as three months, some as short as a month. Generally speaking, this two-week holiday can't be called summer vacation. It's spring break and autumn break. These two holidays usually last for two weeks. April holiday is an Easter holiday, usually more than ten days. 2. What do Australian students do during their holidays? 1. Australian society encourages parents to spend as much time with their children as possible, especially in private schools in Australia. The holidays in private schools are slightly different from those in public schools, and the holidays in private schools are relatively long. Because the Australian education system has strict regulations on the number of hours of study in school each semester, private schools have adopted the practice of starting classes in advance every day and delaying after-school activities to increase students' holidays. For this reason, many parents in Australia choose private schools with high tuition fees. On the one hand, their working hours are closer to their children's school hours, which is convenient for transportation. On the other hand, they can have more parent-child communication with their children during the longer holidays. After all, children's growth is fleeting, and parents cherish every holiday with their children. Australians' favorite way to spend their holidays is to travel, because as long as their children have a holiday, parents also take annual leave, take their children to the Paris Tower, go under the Prague Bridge and go to romantic Turkey. In the near future, I will choose New Zealand and Bali in Indonesia. Where to go depends on my family's personal preferences and economic income. 2. Many children in Australia are second-generation immigrants. They were born in Australia. Although their parents are immigrants from other countries, their diet and family education will follow many traditions of their own country. But once they enter the school, their children will enter the mainstream culture and values in Australia, and their usual language will become English. In order to let children learn the language and culture of their own country and establish feelings with their relatives at home, many parents choose to bring their children back to China. Chinese families in Australia are no exception. As soon as they take a long vacation, the air tickets to major cities in China will soar. Many parents will take their children back to China to visit relatives at any cost. They will learn about China culture while visiting relatives, and more importantly, they will further consolidate Chinese. Nowadays, there are more and more people learning Chinese all over the world, and the descendants of Chinese have unique advantages, and they will not give up. I think this is a very good choice. 3. Australia is a country that attaches great importance to volunteer experience, and it is also in place to start volunteering from dolls. After the children have a holiday, there are many types of volunteers who can apply, such as handing over the local gerontology computer, helping with the kitchen in the community restaurant, and assisting in the art exhibition. There are many choices. It is a very good choice for children to volunteer during holidays. On the one hand, it can help children observe society, improve their ability and make more friends. On the other hand, it can cultivate their enterprising spirit. Dedicated children will feel happier when they grow up, rather than simply pursuing material stimulation. Volunteering can also help children discover their interests early. In the experience of volunteering, many children find that they are not interested in any job at all, but only in some jobs. It is a rare thing to find their interest in life early when they are still young. I have to say that finding your own interests as early as possible in your child's life can make your child take fewer detours and have a direction in life, which is also a point that Australian education attaches great importance to. Three. Matters needing attention for Australian students to work during holidays. 1. When I first arrived in Australia, few students found suitable jobs within three months due to language and environmental problems. After all, the main purpose of international students is to study. We don't recommend students to work too early, so as not to affect their studies. Most students began to look for part-time jobs after 3 months. 2. If you apply for a student visa, all student visas in Australia will have their own work permits from April 26th, 2008. 3, the visa allows working hours, must be at least 18 years old, and have a student visa that allows working. Offenders cancel their school status. The school stipulates that the working hours per week should not exceed 25 hours, and holidays can be relaxed. The minimum wage is AUD 10 per hour. If your job is an internship as stipulated in the school curriculum, less than 25 hours is not counted. Even if you are a volunteer, you can make a limb brake calorimeter for less than 20 hours for free. 4. When international students come to Australia to study and start work, they will be affected by Australian tax laws. International students must report to the Australian Taxation Bureau; ATO) Tax application number (tax file number). You need to show your certificate when you apply for the tax number. If you apply for a passport, you need to go in person. Post offices and tax bureaus all over the country have application forms. For more details, please contact the Australian Taxation Bureau. When you start work, the employer will ask you to provide your tax number within 28 days. 6. Many schools in Australia must see the attendance rate, and they can be expelled if they fail to reach 80%. 7. Ways to Work There are still many ways to study in Australia and find a job. The first is that you can seek job opportunities through the introduction of seniors or classmates and make use of the network resources around you; The second is to search for job information on major local job search websites, such as Seek, MyCareer, SpotJobs, CareerOne, Kampus and other websites, which are very commonly used. The third is that you can take your resume to the store where the recruitment information is posted. The fourth is through the student service center of the school, where some recruitment information will be released from time to time, so you can pay more attention at any time. 8. Safeguarding your rights and interests Although you work in other places, everyone should also pay attention to safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests and be alert to the infringement of employers. In case of wage arrears or disputes, students can refer to Fair Work official website or call its help hotline 13 1394 for help in order to ensure that they are treated fairly and reasonably during their work. For many students who want to study abroad, choosing which country to study in is a very important consideration. Australia has a beautiful environment, a suitable climate, eight top Australian universities in the world and rich educational resources, so it has become a country that many international students yearn for. To sum up, the above is an introduction about when Australian universities usually have a holiday, hoping to give some guidance to students studying in Australia. Here, I sincerely wish all the students can enter their ideal school smoothly and succeed in their studies!
