* In 2024, the first TWO days of Term 1 will be student free days.
From 2025 onwards, the first day of Term 1 will be a student-free day in all government schools to allow for appropriate planning to take place for the arrival of students. Each year government schools are provided with four student-free days for professional development, school planning and administration, curriculum development, and student assessment and reporting purposes. The remaining three student-free days are determined by each individual school, so contact your school for details.
