What is NoSchoolToday.com.au?

People without children often assume that children are at school every day. It's as though they are put in a drawer until evening and won't disrupt the daily activities of the adult world.

But for parents who work, whether as employees or running their own businesses, life is not that simple. They have to juggle working with school holidays, pupil-free days, days when children are sick, and days when children simply don't want to go to school. That's not to mention school functions, parent-teacher interviews and last minute emergencies like lost sports uniforms, overdue homework, and needing something for show and tell. 

This website is a resource and refuge for you if you are one of those parents. It's a place to find ideas and assistance, and also recognition of the constant stresses you are under as you try to combine your multiple roles and responsibilities.
