State School Term Dates in Australia in 2021.
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 2021 schooling year begins on a date between 27th January and 3rd 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.
