This list of Brisbane School Holidays includes dates for all of the state school terms through to 2029, as well as for the Brisbane school holidays, relevant Brisbane public holidays, and Brisbane pupil free days.
Not included in this list are the Queensland Catholic School Holidays, as these vary greatly from school to school. While many school term and school holiday dates will be the same as those at Brisbane state schools, it is always best to check your own catholic school calendars for accuracy.
We hope this handy guide will help you prepare for future years in planning your Brisbane School holidays!
About Brisbane School Holidays
Queensland state school terms usually run parallel to other public school terms across the majority of Australian states and territories, with the goal being that each school term averages no more than ten weeks in total.
Of course, other school-free dates do pop up throughout the year, such as staff professional development days (pupil-free days) and public holidays.
