State School Term Dates in Australia in 2019.
Each State and Territory in Australia has a Government department responsible for setting School Term and Holiday dates. Consequently, these dates are not always the same in each State.
The 2019 schooling year begins on a date between 29th January and 6th February, depending on which State you are in.
These dates are also not always the same for Private and Independent schools in Australia, as these schools are responsible for setting their own date. They are however often very close to the State Schools dates, but sometimes one week earlier or later.
Teachers and other Staff members may start earlier than Students. I have seen one school where the students begin on 29 January 2019, but the office staff begin on 14 January 2019, and the Teachers begin on 21 January 2019.
The following are the scheduled Term Dates in 2019 for State schools in each State and Territory in Australia.
