Our Story
School Holidays 2026 Australia was born from a simple need: a reliable, easy-to-use resource for finding school holiday dates across different states.

What started as a simple calendar has grown into a comprehensive planning resource, incorporating not just dates but also ideas and inspiration for making the most of family time during school breaks. We've helped thousands of Australian families plan their holidays, book trips, schedule activities, and make lasting memories.
