Notes from the Northern Territory Government (NT.GOV.AU)

Page lists separate teacher and student days; dates here are student days. Teachers start 1-2 days earlier each term (2026: 27 Jan, 13 Apr, 13 Jul, 5 Oct; 2027: 25 Jan, 12 Apr, 12 Jul, 4 Oct; 2028: 24 Jan, 18 Apr, 17 Jul, 9 Oct) and finish Term 4 a day after students (2026-12-11, 2027-12-10, 2028-12-15). Most government schools follow these dates; Gunbalanya School runs a flexible school year with its own dates. No Top End / Central Australia split stated. None marked tentative. Page also lists 2029-2032. Note: the page blocks automated fetchers and was read in a normal browser.
