*Dates of School Holidays, School Term, Public Holidays

Each state of Australia sets their own school term and holiday dates - which can be very confusing when travelling interstate. Tasmania has 3 terms per year. All others states have 4 terms (2 semesters) per year with a mid-semester break. We include school holiday dates on each city what's on pages (click on state links below), but also here are links to official government sites where you can double-check all dates. In some cases, school teachers return to school one or two days earlier than students.

You can follow the links below to official government sites providing school and other holiday dates.

In 2011, Easter Monday and ANZAC Day are on the same day. Please check closer to the date to see which states are having a special additional public holiday.
