First day of term for some

If you are a year 5, or a brand new high school year 7 kid, today is the beginning of term.
If you are a somewhat more mature Year 9, then you get to wait until Monday. Thus letting the new Year 7s have a chance to get familiar with the high school layout before the big kids arrive.

Curiously, if you are a year 1 or Prep kid at our local primary school, then your long anticipated start at school will also be delayed until Monday due to flood damage. Poor wee souls.
