2024 Student-Free Days
Each year government schools are provided with four student-free days for professional development, school planning and administration, curriculum development, and student assessment and reporting purposes. 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. The remaining three student-free days are determined by each individual school.
Teachers are also granted one Professional Practice Day (PPD) per year from 2024 onwards. Schools have the option of scheduling the PPD as a common, student-free day which we are electing to do this year. School Council has confirmed the following student-free days for the remainder of 2024:
- Fri 31 May - Curric 3 (Report Writing)
- Mon 11 Nov - PPD (common - student free)
- Fri 20 Dec - Curric 4 (End Year Handover and Preparation)
