Parents / School Calendar

A shared rhythm across the school year.

The school calendar gives families and the school a shared rhythm — of terms, key learning moments and community events. It is one of the ways the institution respects family life.

Approach

A living document for families

The calendar is not a static grid of dates. It expresses how the school year is composed — its terms, its pauses, its high points and its quiet weeks.

It is shared as one document so that families can plan their own lives around a rhythm they can trust.

It is updated when reality asks for it, and every change is communicated directly to families.

Principles

The principles that guide the calendar

One source of truth

One authoritative calendar lives at the school and reaches families through official channels. Nothing important is only in a chat message.

Advance notice

The rhythm of the year is shared far enough in advance that families can plan travel, work and life around it.

Respect for family life

Weekends, holidays and family time are treated as protected. Additional demands on families are considered before they are added.

Learning at the centre

Key learning moments — assessment weeks, showcases, transitions — are planned first, and the rest of the year composed around them.

Honest change management

When a date must move, it moves once, is announced clearly and is not quietly re-adjusted.

Community moments protected

The events that make the school a community — not just a service — are given real space in the year.

Standards

What families can rely on

  • term dates and holiday periods shared as one document
  • key learning moments visible across the whole year
