WA School Holidays 2026

Planning for family time, travel, or kids’ activities? Knowing the Western Australia School Holidays 2026 helps parents and carers organise school breaks, childcare, and vacation plans early in the year. In WA, public schools follow a four-term calendar with holiday periods between each term. Independent and Catholic schools typically base their calendars on these state dates, but always double-check with your child’s school for the exact dates.

Understanding the school term schedule helps you organise the school year, plan routines and fit in extracurricular activities. In 2026, public schools in Western Australia will run four terms throughout the year, with each term followed by a holiday period.

These term dates provide a clear structure for school attendance, with breaks for holidays and public events in between.

Western Australia public holidays in 2026 give families and workers scheduled days off to celebrate national days, cultural events, and traditional seasonal holidays. Most are observed across the entire state, and when a holiday falls on a weekend, a replacement holiday is provided on the following Monday.
