Why do state schools and private schools have different holidays?
When it comes to QLD school holidays 2023, state and private schools often have a different set of QLD school holiday dates, particularly over summer. Education Queensland establishes the dates for all state schools in Queensland, trying to keep each of the 4 terms as even as possible. Ideally, Education QLD tries to aim for a 10-week term. Sometimes, this is not possible due to where Easter falls in the calendar year.
However, the process is slightly different for private schools. Independent and Catholic schools set their school holidays based on state school holiday dates – though, between each private school, these dates can slightly differ.
As the school year kicks, be sure to research school holidays QLD 2023 for Independent or Catholic school’s school holiday dates just to be sure.
