﻿Zuzia and Sara wrote about Polish system of education and school year in Poland:

Our name's are Zuzia and Sara. We 11. We go to Primary School number 9 in Dzierżoniów in Poland. We start school when we're 7. We can leave school when we're 16, but a lot of people stay until they are 19. We finish primary school when we're 13. We finish secondary school (gimnazium) when we're 16. Then we go to High School for three or four years. And after the final exams we called 'matura' we can continue studying at college or university. We go to school from Monday to Friday. We start school at 8.00 a.m., and usually finish at14.30 p.m. The school year has got 2 terms. The autumn term starts on 1st September, and we finish it at the end of January. We have about two weeks holiday at Christmas and two weeks winter holidays in January or February. The second term starts in February and finishes at the end of June. In March or April we have six days holiday at Easter. The summer holidays are about 9 or 10 weeks long. We like the holidays very, very much!!!

Every year in September we celebrate the beginning of sports school year (we have 3 sports classes with 10 PE lessons a week) and then some sports competition take place. Marcin made a slideshow showing last sports school year beginning which took place on 17th September.
