Queensland state school terms run parallel to other public school terms across the majority of Australia, with the goal being that each school term averages no more than ten weeks in total. Below is a list of School Holiday Dates in Brisbane (2024 2025 2026).
Of course, other school-free dates do pop up throughout the year, such as Staff Professional Development Days (pupil-free days), and Public Holidays. We hope this handy guide will help you prepare for future years in planning your Brisbane School holidays.
We have not included Queensland Catholic School Holidays as while many will overlap, we have noted nuances between schools, particularly regarding end-of-year and pupil-free days. It is always best to check your own catholic school calendars.
