Foundation

Curriculum days
Each year schools receive four student-free days. These days are used for professional development, school planning and administration, curriculum development, and student assessment and reporting.The first day of Term 1 each year is a student-free day in all government schools. This is to allow for appropriate planning to take place by teachers prior the arrival of students for the new school year. School councils have the flexibility to schedule the remaining three student-free days each year to meet local needs of the school.
