School Development Days 2026-Students Do Not Attend

School staff participate in six professional development days for up-skilling on school priorities, data review and planning each year. Students do not attend these days. Two of these days are before the school year starts for students, and one day is after the school year ends for students. A Department term dates calendar can not be provided, as each public school develops its own calendar.

• There are six school development days that 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.
  • Please view the Forest Crescent Primary Website Calendar or contact your school directly for more information about its specific dates, including school development days.
  • Students start the school year on Monday, 2nd February and end the school year on Thursday, 17th December 2026.
