School Term Dates

Barooga Public School follows the Victorian school vacation dates so that families with children attending a High school in Cobram/Nathalia, can enjoy the same holiday periods.

Please note that during the school term, NSW public holidays are observed, rather than Victorian public holidays.

Throughout the year, NSW Education also schedules compulsory Staff Development (School Development) Days. These are pupil-free days and students do not attend school on these dates. Families will be advised of these dates as they are confirmed.
