All ACT public schools CLOSED (full day) on Thursday 11 June 2026
In order to enable industrial action and keep students safe, all ACT public schools, including specialist schools and preschools, will be CLOSED on Thursday 11 June 2026 (full day).
There will be no onsite supervision on the day.
The Education Directorate has decided to close schools to students during this time, in the interest of student and staff safety.
The Australian Education Union has notified the Education Directorate that its members will take part in protected industrial action for a full day on that day.
We are again expecting a large proportion of ACT public school staff will participate in the work stoppage, meaning we are unable to confidently plan for safe and appropriate supervision for all students.
If you have any questions or concerns about how this closure will impact your school, please contact your school directly.
We acknowledge that school closures have significant impacts on families and these decisions are not taken lightly. We are letting families know about this change as early as possible to help with forward planning. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff remains our highest priority.
