NSW School Holidays 2023 – All you need to know

The NSW Government has announced that they will be introducing a range of new school holiday dates in 2023. The new dates will be in line with the National School Calendar, which is designed to provide a more consistent and fair system for all schools across Australia.

This change is designed to give students more time off during the year and better balance out their school holidays. It also means that NSW students will now have the same number of days off as their counterparts in other states and territories.
