Holidays and term dates for schools in Queensland (QLD) are determined by the government. Most schools (independent, private, and Catholic) follow the QLD School Holidays. However, the beginning and end of each term may vary from one school to another.
For instance, schools located in North Queensland and Western Queensland, Australia, may start the summer holidays a week earlier than other state schools in the East (Victoria). For more updated information, please refer to individual school websites.
