Christmas Holidays 2017/18

Christmas Holidays

Please Note

• A Department term dates calendar for 2018 can not be provided as each public school develops its own calendar.
• Easter occurs during Term 1.  Schools will be closed on Friday 30 March 2018, Monday 2 April 2018 and Tuesday 3 April 2018.
• Please contact your school directly for more information about its specific dates, including school development days (student free).
• Students start the school year on Wednesday 31 January 2018 and end the school year on Thursday 13 December 2018.
• There are six school development days where students do not attend:
  • Two of these days are before the school year starts for students and one day is after the school year ends for students.
  • Each school schedules another three days throughout the year in consultation with its school council/board and school community.
• Independent Public Schools have the flexibility to trade-off school development days (except Monday 29 January and Tuesday 30 January). All other schools have the flexibility to trade-off the last school development day of the school year (Friday 14 December).
