So work has provided me with a brand new iPad, and the calendar is formatted in a way I despise, but I can't find any way to change settings. Can anyone advise? I'm neither technically incompetent, nor am I unfamiliar with Macs, but if there is a way to change the settings, it is either really well hidden, or staring me in the face and I just can't see it.

Simply put, the week begins on Monday, and I flipping HATE when calendars do that!

I should add that it's an iPad 2 running OS 5.1.1.

But the week does begin on Monday?

I thought this was something important like 12/31/2012

Looks like if you change the regional setting to US you can have sunday as the start day

The astronomical week starts on Sunday.

And that was the day that calendars used to mark the beginning of the week until the mid-1990s. I'm too old to accept the change.

It's annoying when 2 day events at the weekend have to wraparound. Week starting on Monday is the only sensible way.

My working week is Tuesday to Saturday. Just saying.

Other calendar apps are available - "Calendars" shows trhe week starting with the current day, for instance. Plus it syncs with Google calendars properly.

I like to call Monday 'oneday', and Tuesday 'twoday'. Wednesday will now be known as 'Poddyday'...
