All students start the school year on Wednesday
1 February and end the school year on Thursday 12 December.
There are seven 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 four days throughout the year in consultation with its school council/board and school community.
Independent Public Schools have the flexibility to trade-off school development days (except Thursday 28 January and Friday 29 January). All other schools have the flexibility to trade-off the last school development day of the school year (Friday 16 December). Teachers should confirm arrangements for their school development days with the school.
Labour Relations should be consulted for details of staff start and end year dates by occupational group.
