Do Northern Territory state schools and private schools have different holidays?
In the Northern Territory, state schools and private schools tend to have slight differences in their holiday dates.
This discrepancy occurs because the NT Government is only responsible for setting the term dates for state schools. By contrast, Catholic, independent and private schools are at liberty to set their own schedules.
Typically, these schools try to match the term and holiday dates determined for state schools by the NT Government. However, it is inevitable that variations will occur between them.
Thus to play it safe, if your child attends a non-state school, it would be a good idea to check directly with them as to what their specific dates are.
