WA School Holidays 2029/30 — Key Dates
These WA school holiday dates for 2029 are sourced directly from Department of Education (Western Australia). WA school term dates are set by the Department of Education and published in the Government Gazette. The 2026 school year has 4 terms running from early February to mid-December.
Planning Tips for 2029 WA 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.
