Yep. New Zealand and Australia have very similar school break times. Here in NZ our kids finish the school year mid-late December, and start up the new school year at the beginning of February. Our Summer is December - February. Gotta love hanging out at the beach for Christmas
and in my case college breaks are from late November through to late February/early March - about 14 weeks all up I think which drags on and on and on ........
