New South Wales school holidays 2027 and term dates for government schools: the first and last day of each of the four terms, the school holidays between them, the school development days (staff only, no school for students) and the public holidays that fall in term time, taken from the NSW Department of Education's own calendar.
NSW has two calendars: the Eastern division (most of the state) and the Western division (far west NSW), where Term 1 starts one week later.

Good to know
- Dates for NSW government (public) schools. The Eastern division is most of the state; the Western division (far west NSW) starts Term 1 one week later. Each term starts with school development days, when only staff attend. Some schools near the Victorian and Queensland borders use different dates. Catholic and independent schools set their own dates.
- Term 4 2027 ends on a Monday (20 December), as published by the department.

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.
