you can only work 20 hours per week while studying but when school is on holidays you may work full time

You can work for up to 20 hours per week while your course is in session - a week is 7 days beginning on Monday and finishing on the following Sunday. You can work unlinited hours during official course breaks (vacations). You cannot do any work until your course begins. The department considers your course to be 'in session': • for the duration of the advertised semesters (including periods when exams are being held) • if you have completed your studies and your Confirmation of Enrolment is still in effect • if you are undertaking another course, during a break from your main course and the points will be credited to your main course.
