I would like to ask you a question about kindergartens and schools in your countries.
In Japan, school year starts from April. (kindergartens,schools and universities too)
and we have an "entrance ceremony" everytime we join a new school.
Do you have such ceremony in your country? or just have a ceremony for graduation?
Many of my students go to the kindergarten from this April, and the other day we were talking about it with our teacher from USA, were told that there was no such ceremony in the USA, he said you can get into the kindergarten whenever you want....so I just wondered how about other countries?
I am looking forward to hearing from you again

Hi^^
well, in austria, we dont really have such a ceremony. most of the time for those who get their Matura (final certificate to enter an uni) make such a graduation festival in our small school´s church.
and just after a normal school year, not the last one, you get your certificate from the teacher and then just go home^^ and the first school day of every year, your head teacher comes and discusses with the whole class about organisation and so on.
schools start here at the beginning of september and end in june/ beginning of july. in between you have 2 terms, and the 2nd starts after 1 week holidays in february.
