(c) The K-10 Term 3 commencement date for students was originally set as Mon 20 Jul 2015. It was then changed to Tue 21 Jul 2015 (to allow for a student free day to occur on 20 July), but as a result of a subsequent need to reduce the number of student free days in 2015 by one (to make up for an extra one taken in 2014) the commencement date was made Mon 20 Jul 2015 again. Any general calendars or general websites that still display Tue 21 Jul 2015 as the Term 3 commencement date for government schools are now incorrect. If a non-government school website is displaying Tue 21 July as the Term 3 commencement date, you would be advised to contact the school to clarify whether they are going ahead with their own student free day on the Monday or whether they simply have not updated their website yet.
