EASTER TUESDAY 🐰 A friendly reminder that Tuesday, 2 April 2024 is a school holiday.

Sometimes when Easter falls later in April, this holiday gets wrapped into the term break. But when it doesn't, Easter Tuesday is still a day off.

WHAT ABOUT EARLY LEARNING?
Terms and holidays are set for state schools under the Education (When State Schools Must Be Open) Regulations 2022. While many early childhood services follow school terms and holidays, some choose to operate.

Check with your provider if you're unsure. It's up to each early learning service to decide if they will operate on Easter Tuesday.
