Government schools. Holiday dates include the weekends and public holidays between two terms; days when only staff attend are on each state's page.

How we source dates

Every date in the school calendars on this site comes from the education department's own published term dates. Each page names the source, links to it, and shows the date we copied it and the date we last checked it. We do not estimate dates: a year that a department has not published is shown as not yet published, and a year we could not read from the department's own website yet is shown as published by the department, dates not on this site yet. The dates apply to government schools; Catholic and independent schools set their own, and many schools add their own pupil-free days. Always check your school's calendar.
