quicko: starting school

The Australian academic calendar starts in --this is bizarre-- January. Can you believe it? They take summer holidays in the summer (December/January) and then start school up in late January. So all the kids are out and about now. And, incidentally, they think it's even more bizarre we pick such an arbitrary month as September to begin school. Silly Australians.
