Lessons in a term for a weekly student

Pick the lesson day. A public holiday on that day takes one lesson off, unless you teach on public holidays. A term that ends on a Thursday keeps its Friday and weekend lessons, and one that ends on a Friday keeps its weekend, as Clefwise schedules them.

Term 1810 Mondays, less Labour Day and Easter Monday.

Term 2810 Mondays, less Anzac Day (additional day) and Western Australia Day.

Term 31010 Mondays, and no public holiday falls on one.

Term 41010 Mondays, and no public holiday falls on one.
