Unusually, Macquarie University officially uses the word "session" and CQUniversity uses the word "term" in place of "semester". Most Australian universities have two semesters a year, but Bond University, Deakin University, CQUniversity, Griffith University, the University of New South Wales and the University of Canberra have three trimesters. In the year 2000, due to the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, the state of New South Wales extended the break after Term 3 to three weeks.
some independent schools have a break of three week between terms 1 & 2 and between terms 3 & 4). This occasionally varies in different jurisdictions/school systems (i.e. There is typically a break of two weeks between each term, followed by a 1-2 month summer break after term 4 which ends just before Christmas. The exact start and finish date of the academic year varies between jurisdictions in 2023 Queensland will start earliest on 23 January (the only jurisdiction to begin the academic year before Australia Day) and finish earliest on 8 December, while Tasmania will start latest on 8 February and finish latest on 21 December. However, in 2013 Tasmania introduced a four-term year, to conform to the rest of the country. In Tasmania until and including 2012, the school year was split into three terms, the first one being the longest and including an extended Easter holiday (which was also the practice of mainland Australia until the mid-1980s). The exact dates vary from year to year, as well as between states, and for public and private school. Australian states and territories vary their approach to Easter when determining the dates for the holiday at the end of Term 1. Terms 4 & 1 (rolled over) and 2 & 3 are respectively usually deemed 'summer' and 'winter' respectively for purposes of sports participation and uniform standards. Term 4 starts in early-to-mid October and ends typically in mid-to-late December.Term 3 starts in mid-to-late July and ends mid-to-late September.Term 2 starts in late April or early May and ends in late June.Term 1 starts in late January or early February and ends in late March or early April (often in close proximity to Easter).In most of Australia, the primary and secondary school year lasts about 200 days, from late January or early February to early or mid-December, and is split into four terms:
