2027 Dates
This week at school council we discussed the changes to the amount of days schools can implement pupil free days under the new VGSA (Victorian Government Schools Agreement).
In 2027, we will move from having 5 pupil free days to 8 in total and plan to stagger them across the terms to support families with home arrangements as much as possible. Pupil free days are broken down into Curriculum Days (school led) and Professional Practice Days (teacher/ES directed). I have included these below so that families might like to begin planning their holidays and long weekends accordingly, I know this information might be really useful!
You will note, that the final day of the school year in 2027 is a curriculum day so that we as a school can complete a full handover to the oncoming team and therefore the Term 4 School term will finish on Thursday 16th December, 2027.
