School zones help protect children on their way to and from schools at the times and places where they are often in high numbers. The 40km/h school zones are in force on all days which are not a weekend, a public holiday or a publicly notified school holiday for government schools. The lower speed limit reduces the risk and potential severity of a crash. These are school zone timetables, and school zones operate according to the official school terms, even if the associated school does not.

This dataset includes NSW public school term dates and public holidays. The Department of Education sets the term and school holiday dates for all NSW public schools: [https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/going-to-a-public-school/cal...](https://education.nsw.gov.au/public-schools/going-to-a-public-school/calendars/future-and-past-nsw-term-and-vacation-dates) School development days occur at the beginning of Terms 1, 2 and 3 and the last two days of the school year. Check with your school, as schools may vary some of these dates. NSW public holidays are available here: [https://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/public-holidays/public-holida...](https://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/public-holidays/public-holidays-in-nsw/) The data resources contain historic, current and future dates. [Local Public Holidays in NSW](https://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/public-holidays/local-public-holidays-in-nsw/) captures additional holiday dates for specific localities.
