School Year Calendars
School year calendars are approved by the Ministry of Education typically around the 3rd week of May of the preceding school year.
You may visit the Ministry of Education to view a full list of school holidays set out by the Ministry for the next five years. Our dates typically conform to these guidelines but we will not be able to confirm until we receive Ministry approval. All calendars will be posted here once approval is received.
