SCHOOL TERMS AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAYS IN TASMANIAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS

Did you know?

The Tasmanian Government school year is divided into four terms.

Professional learning days

• During the school year, schools have professional learning days and on these days your child will not attend school.
• Professional learning days enable teachers to participate in important learning that improves their teaching.

Moderation days

There is also a moderation day for student assessments.  This ensures all students across Tasmania are being assessed against the same benchmarks, and that student assessments are comparable across schools.

* Please note these dates are statewide for Kindergarten to Year 10 in Tasmanian Government schools. Years 11 and 12 dates may differ so please check the Department of Education website

* For full listings of local area public holidays please visit the WorkSafe Tasmania website.

Where can I get more information?

• Schools will advise parents and child care providers of these days in Term 4 every year.
• From your child’s teacher or school.
