All Australian school term dates for 2024

The short link for this post is https://dadbase.co/cXGE

It can be bloody hard to keep track of when the school term begins & ends (too soon or not soon enough), especially with how busy & exhausted you’ve been. Do yourself a favour & throw these dates into the calendar – with a lot of reminders.

“The holidays are too long…” you groan as you enter the fourth week of a six-week break. “Already?!” you scream as the school holidays approach – assuming you’re not an RD with a ripper plan laid out. No judgement here, Bob.

Here’s all the dates you need to ~~remember~~ make a note of for 2024, and some handy links for further tips.

REMEMBER! The dates vary from one year to the next, and they’re not the same in every state. So don’t ask your mates over the border when the next term begins…
