Do state schools and private schools in Queensland have different holidays?
In short, yes they do.
Education Queensland is responsible for setting the school term dates for all state learning institutions. When doing so they try to maintain a consistency of term length. Generally, this takes the form of four terms of 10-week lengths. Although this is not always possible if Easter falls earlier than April.
However, by contrast, Catholic, independent and private schools in Queensland are responsible for setting their own term times and school holiday dates,
In general, they try to match the same dates as determined by Education Queensland with the state schools. Although it is inevitable that some variation will occur between individual Catholic, independent and private schools.
To be on the safe side, if your child attends any of these types of schools, it is a good idea to check directly with them as to what their specific dates are, to ensure you have the most up-to-date and accurate information to hand.
