Holiday periods calculated from term boundaries
Some holiday periods on this page are calculated from published term boundaries rather than printed by the department. Entries marked as derived run from the day after the published finish date to the day before the published return date, using separate student dates where available and the term boundaries otherwise, with no extra days added and no missing dates estimated.
