The school year runs from late January to early December. The year is divided into 4 semesters with approx 2 weeks holiday (vacation) between each semester. The dates vary from state to state and Tasmania has 3 semesters not 4. All of our seasons begin on the 1st day of the month, for example summer starts on the 1st of December. •Summer: December to February •Autumn (Fall) : March to May •Winter: June to August •Spring: September to November It depends on where you are in the country as to what winter and summer are like here. All different kinds of weather - Because Australia is such a large country, its weather varies significantly in different parts of the continent. Living in Australia can involve everything from sunbathing on the beach in scorching summers to knocking snow off your boots after a day of skiing and from sweating out the humidity during the build-up at the beginning of the wet season, to wrapping up snug and waiting at the bus stop in the pouring rain. In the north there are tropical regions with high temperatures and high humidity and distinct wet and dry seasons. In the centre of the country are dry, desert regions with high daytime temperatures and low amounts of rain. In the south are the temperate regions with moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from hot to cold.
