Brisbane School Holidays and Public Holiday Dates 2019/2020/2021

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 10 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. We hope that this handy guide will help you prepare for the year to come.
