Christmas Holidays 2018/2019

Christmas Holidays

• A Department term dates calendar for 2019 can not be provided as each public school develops its own calendar.
• Please contact your school directly for more information about its specific dates, including school development days (student free).
• Students start the school year on Monday 4 February 2019 and end the school year on Thursday 19 December 2019.
• 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 board/council and school community.
• Independent Public Schools have the flexibility to trade-off school development days (except Thursday 31 January and Friday 1 February 2019). All other schools have the flexibility to trade-off the last school development day of the school year (Friday 20 December 2019).
