Do Catholic schools in Sydney get the same holidays?

Close to it, but check your own school. Sydney Catholic Schools publishes its own term dates, and this year they sit very near the NSW public-school calendar below. SCS itself tells families to check with their school because dates will vary (SCS parent information). Treat the table as the frame and your school's newsletter as the final word, especially for the first day back.
