Do state schools and private schools in Tasmania have different holidays?
In Tasmania, state schools and private schools often have slightly different holiday dates.
This is because the Tasmanian Government’s Department Of Education only dictates the term dates for state schools.
Meanwhile, all Catholic, independent and private schools can freely create their own schedules.
Although they generally attempt to match both the term and holiday dates assigned to state schools, minor variations between them will inevitably occur.
Subsequently, if your child attends a non-state school, it is worth confirming with them what their specific dates are.
