Australian School Term Dates
2027 & 2028
A reference guide to Australian school term dates and holiday periods by state and territory, designed to support school planning and family scheduling throughout the year.
Plan the School Year Ahead
Planning ahead is an important part of supporting a successful school community. Whether you're building school calendars, scheduling key events or planning reporting periods, having the right dates at your fingertips can help the year run more smoothly.
We've compiled Australian school term dates for 2027 and 2028 to help schools, educators, parents and carers stay organised. Please note that term dates may vary between states, territories, independent schools, Catholic schools and individual school communities. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, contact your school directly regarding its specific calendar, events and pupil-free days.
Bars reflect published term dates for government schools. Student first days differ by one to two days in Victoria, the Northern Territory and the ACT, as detailed in each section below.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When do Australian school terms start and end?
Australian schools generally operate across four terms each year, with start and finish dates varying by state and territory. Government education authorities set the official term dates, although individual schools may have slight variations.
-
Are school term dates the same across Australia?
No. Each Australian state and territory has its own school calendar, meaning term dates and holiday periods can differ depending on where a school is located. Families and educators should check the dates relevant to their state or territory.
-
Do Independent and Catholic schools follow the same term dates?
Not always. While many Independent and Catholic schools align closely with government school calendars, some may have different start and finish dates, pupil-free days or staff development days. It's always best to confirm dates directly with your school.
-
How many school terms are there in Australia?
Most Australian schools divide the academic year into four terms, separated by school holiday breaks. The year also includes a longer summer holiday period between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next.
-
Can school term dates change?
Term dates are usually published well in advance and rarely change. However, schools may occasionally make adjustments due to exceptional circumstances, local requirements or changes from education authorities. Schools will typically communicate any updates directly to families.
-
Where can I find the most accurate school term dates?
The most reliable source is your school's published calendar or your state or territory education department. Schools may also have additional pupil-free days, staff development days or other dates that are not included in broader state calendars.
-
Why is it important to know school term dates in advance?
Knowing school term dates ahead of time helps schools plan key activities such as assessments, reporting periods and events. It also allows families to organise holidays, childcare arrangements and other commitments around the school calendar.
-
Do school term dates include pupil-free days?
Not usually. School term dates generally show when students are expected to attend school, while pupil-free days, professional learning days and other school-specific closures are often determined by individual schools and communicated separately.
