Information Corner

Please note that the first day of Term 1 is a student-free day in government schools, so students return a day later than staff. Also, independent and Catholic schools may have different term dates and holidays, so it’s recommended to check directly with the relevant school for the most accurate information. Public holidays can also affect school schedules. For instance, Good Friday, ANZAC Day, and Christmas Day are restricted trading days. The Melbourne Cup Day is a public holiday across all of Victoria unless an alternate local holiday has been arranged by a non-metro council

For more detailed information, you can visit the official Victorian government website or other relevant educational resources.
