Is going on holidays in the Christmas break ok? (1 Viewer)

[beehappy]

Hi all,
I'm planning to go on a two week holiday during the Christmas break in Yr 12 and I was wondering whether this is a good idea. I need to book tickets and get things finalised very soon, so all recommendations/comments are appreciated
Btw, I am aiming for a pretty high ATAR if that makes any difference...

Holidays are called holidays for a reason, you should have as much fun before hitting the books!

1000th post!

my plan in the holidays
3 hours study a day
990000000000000000000000000000000000 hours of battlefield 3 a day

Also, i agree with a spiral
Hope you have fun on your holiday

YES! Take the time off, kick off your shoes, and shut those books! You'll probably feel a million times more rejuvenated when you return to school, rather than those people who studied constantly throughout the holidays. Plus 2 weeks isn't all that much, considering it's like a 6 week break. n_n Enjoy the time off, it's the break before Term 4 (of year 12) that is really important!

Then come out firing in 2012.

 

[Bloodstriker]

Yeah. study well, don't study harder

The holiday will do you good I'm sure. You'll come back rejuvenated and you need to have breaks

Yes go enjoy yourself.
As other people have said it will do you good.

In my eyes every holidays you should at least have a few days to yourself, but all day everyday shouldn't be spent studying either eg. 1-4 hours a day and the rest being spent doing things you enjoy doing.

Take some time out, have fun and do moderate revision. Christmas break is a good time to learn topics beforehand, not sure if you're willing to though.

I went on holidays end of yr 11 (term 3) came back 2 weeks into term 4 (yr 12), made no difference, and I did basically no work in the Christmas holidays so you may as well use them.

wait, you're in year 11?

I did zero work (school wise) during my Christmas holidays if that comforts you.

Sames, but it shouldn't comfort you...
