Term 4 important dates

Term 4 promises a meaningful and celebratory end to the school year for Western Australian schools.

With a variety of important dates and awareness days on the calendar, there are many opportunities for schools to connect, reflect and celebrate with their communities. 

From recognising the contributions of teachers, volunteers and excellence across our schools, to promoting kindness, inclusion and environmental awareness, there’s something to engage every member of the school community. 

These are just some of the many awareness and celebration days taking place this term. Be sure to check in with your school for others and any student-free days as the year comes to an end.
