The Tasmanian Government has approved the final government school term dates for the 2014/15 school years following the state’s move to a four term school year in 2013.

The term dates for 2014 are:

Mr McKim said that there had been extensive communication with key groups and the broader community in preparation for the introduction of the four term school year in 2013.

 

"A departmental transition committee has ensured there have been communication updates to schools for inclusion in their newsletters, the production of a parent brochure, as well as a web presence,” Mr McKim said.

 

"Confirmation of the term dates will now allow parents and carers and the great community to plan for the next three years."
