School holidaysPublic holiday
Catholic and independent schools
These are the term dates for Western Australian public schools, as published by the Department of Education and the WA Government Gazette. Catholic schools (Catholic Education WA) and independent schools set their own dates. Catholic Education WA has announced a three-week mid-year break for its schools from 2027, but it does not publish one set of dates for all its schools, so Catholic school dates will differ from public schools from 2027 and families should check their school's calendar.
