- School-Specific Variations: Individual schools may have slight variations in their calendars, especially regarding teacher professional development days or school events. It's essential to always confirm dates with your child's school.
- Early Release Days: Some days may involve early release for students, usually to accommodate teacher meetings or other school-related activities.
Planning for the 2025 School Year
Knowing the term dates allows for effective planning:
- Extracurricular Activities: Enroll your child in extracurricular activities like sports, music lessons, or tutoring, keeping the school term dates in mind.
- Family Vacations: Plan family holidays during the school holidays to maximize time together without disrupting your child's education.
