Best Answer
Strangely enough I too have been looking for ages today for this information. Have just rung the Japanese embassy here in Sydney and am hoping they will come up with it. I work at a Japanese school in Australia and we are trying to link our term dates with theirs and we still cannot find the schedule.
It will be roughly:
- Term 1: 10 April – July 20;
- Term 2: 1 September – 20 December;
- Term 3: 10 January – 20 March.
However, these dates were for 2008, not for 2012/13.
