New South Wales school terms 2027

NSW public schools have 41 teaching weeks across 4 terms in 2027, from Wed 3 Feb to Mon 20 Dec. Here are the dates, the school holidays, the public holidays in term time and how many lessons each term holds for a weekly student.

These are the Eastern division dates. Schools in the Western division have some different dates.

Lessons in a term for a weekly student

Pick the lesson day. A public holiday on that day takes one lesson off, unless you teach on public holidays. A term that ends on a Thursday keeps its Friday and weekend lessons, and one that ends on a Friday keeps its weekend, as Clefwise schedules them.

Term 189 Mondays, less Easter Monday.
Term 289 Mondays, less King's Birthday.
Term 399 Mondays, and no public holiday falls on one.
Term 41010 Mondays, and no public holiday falls on one.
