How these dates are checked
TermMinder lists the official school term dates and holidays published by each authority in Australia, with the source text quoted on every page so you can check it yourself. Dates are shown exactly as the authority publishes them: where a date is a range or is left to individual schools, the page says so rather than guessing.
