Each year Cairnlea Park Primary School will have four student-free days for professional development, school planning and administration, curriculum development, and student assessment and reporting purposes. The first day of Term 1 will be a student-free day to allow for necessary planning to prepare for the new school year. The remaining three student-free days will be determined by the school and communicated to the community.
Term dates for all years from 2016 – 2025 are available on the DET Term Dates website.
