About Australian School Holidays

Australian School Holidays is an independent editorial publication for people planning around Australian government school calendars. It covers school holidays, term dates, student return dates, student-free days, calendar downloads and state-by-state comparisons.

What we cover

We publish source-linked government school calendar information for Australian states and territories. Each calendar identifies its school system, year, source, verification date and any regional or student-start variant.

What we do not cover

We do not present the site as a government service and do not combine Catholic, independent or individual school calendars with government dates. School-specific events, enrolment arrangements and locally selected student-free days should be confirmed with the school.

How data is reviewed

Primary government sources are checked before a calendar is published. Data files record the source URL, access date and verification date. Calculated dates are visibly labelled and include the method used; dates that cannot be supported by an official source are excluded.

Corrections and independence

We review credible correction reports against the relevant official source and maintain a public corrections record for material changes. The publication is independent and not affiliated with any government department. Editorial contact: editorial@australianschoolholidays.online.
