TAS School Holidays 2027/28 — Key Dates
These TAS school holiday dates for 2027 are sourced directly from Department for Education, Children and Young People (Tasmania). Tasmania uses a 4-term system. The 2026 school year starts in early February (later than mainland states) and ends in mid-December. Note: Tasmania starts Term 1 later than other Australian states.
Planning Tips for 2027 TAS School Holidays
🗺️ Every state sets its own four terms
Australia's eight states and territories each publish their own four-term calendar, so NSW, Victoria and Queensland never break at exactly the same time — useful for avoiding interstate peak pricing.
🏫 School development days dot the term edges
Pupil-free staff development days sit at the start or end of most terms, so children often return a day after the published term start. Check your school's newsletter.
🧢 Summer holidays span Christmas
The long break runs mid-December to late January across the southern-hemisphere summer — book December beach destinations 6+ months ahead; January is peak domestic travel.
🧒 Vacation care books out early
Vacation care, sports camps and holiday programs for the two-week term breaks fill up when bookings open, often weeks before the break starts — register as soon as enrolments open.

Do private schools have different holiday dates?
Yes, private and independent schools often set their own term dates, which may differ from government/public schools. However, most private schools follow similar schedules to nearby public schools, with minor variations. Check directly with your school for exact dates.
What are teacher training days / professional development days?
Teacher training days (also called PD days, INSET days in the UK, or pupil-free days in Australia) are days when students do not attend school but teachers participate in training. These are typically attached to the beginning or end of holiday periods.
