Beyond Term Dates: What Else to Look Out For
While term dates are crucial, there are other important dates to keep in mind:
- Public Holidays: These will affect school closures and should be factored into your family planning. The NSW Government website will publish an official list.
- School Events: Each school has its own unique calendar of events, including school concerts, sports days, excursions, and parent-teacher evenings. Check your school's newsletter or website regularly for updates.
- Assessment Dates: Important exam periods and assessment deadlines will be communicated directly by your child's school. Staying informed is key for students to succeed academically.
- Enrolment Dates: If you are enrolling a child in a new school for 2025, be sure to contact the school directly for their specific enrolment procedures and deadlines. These deadlines are often well in advance of the school year's commencement.
