The school year. It does not start on a fixed day: the ministry sets a week, and each school chooses a date within it. It is divided into three terms, with holidays at Christmas, Carnival and Easter.

Where you come across it. The school calendar, planning holidays and trips.
The school year ends on different dates for different year groups: the youngest children have lessons for longer than the older ones.
