As South Africans prepare to commemorate Youth Day on Tuesday, parents and pupils are reminded that schools will also be closed on Monday for a special school holiday.
The additional day off means many pupils are currently enjoying a four-day weekend after schools closed on Friday afternoon. Pupils are only expected back in class on Wednesday.
The special school holiday, confirmed in the Department of Basic Education's school calendar, falls immediately before Youth Day, giving pupils and teachers two consecutive weekdays away from school.
For many families, the break offers a welcome breather as the second school term enters its final weeks. While the long weekend may feel like the start of the winter holidays, the school term is not yet over.
