Student Free Days
The first day of Term 1 is a student-free day in all government schools to allow for appropriate planning to take place for the arrival of students. Our school elects to take two Curriculum Days at the beginning of the year to allow time for staff to plan and prepare for student learning. Each year government schools are provided with student-free days for professional development, school planning and administration, curriculum development, and student assessment and reporting purposes. The student-free days are determined by each individual school. Teesdale Primary School's School Council has approved Curriculum and Professional Practice dates for 2027 as per the table below.
In 2027, the first day for all students will be Monday 1st February.

Foundation Times
School is different from kindergarten in many ways – activities are more structured, great independence is encouraged, concentration is required for extended periods of time, the school day is highly organised and the children have a lot of social and emotional adjustments to make.
For the first few weeks of the school year, your child will have a shorter school week. They will be expected at school from 9:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
There will be no school for your Foundation child on Wednesdays in Term 1 for the first 5 weeks. The first Wednesday for Foundation students will be Wednesday 11th March.
