Petition Reduce school summer holidays from 6 weeks to 2.
As a working parent I find it almost impossible to find affordable childcare for my children during the 6 weeks holidays. Most people only receive 21 days annual leave from work.
More details
With lack of affordable childcare for primary and high school aged children, it makes it almost impossible for most parents to find or afford childcare for the six week summer holiday. We need to move with the times and support people who want to work. Children are no longer required to help with summer harvest. 6 weeks is too long!
