WA School Holidays 2025

Planning school holidays in advance ensures families can make the most of their time off. In Western Australia, the school year is divided into four terms, each followed by a break.
‎
Term 1 runs from Wednesday 5 February to Friday 11 April, followed by a holiday from Saturday 12 April to Sunday 27 April.
‎
Term 2 begins on Monday 28 April and concludes on Friday 4 July, with a break from Saturday 5 July to Sunday 20 July.
‎
Term 3 starts on Monday 21 July and ends on Friday 26 September, followed by a holiday from Saturday 27 September to Sunday 12 October.
‎
Term 4 commences on Monday 13 October and finishes on Thursday 18 December.

For families staying in WA during the holidays, Perth and its surroundings offer endless entertainment.
‎
Kings Park provides open spaces for children to run and explore, while Scitech makes for an exciting interactive learning experience. The WA Maritime Museum is a great spot for kids fascinated by history and the ocean. Wildlife encounters at Perth Zoo and Caversham Wildlife Park are always a hit because they allow kids to get close to native animals.
‎
Further afield, Penguin Island offers a fun day trip where families can spot penguins and sea lions. With beaches, bike trails, and nature reserves, WA ensures a school holiday filled with adventure and discovery.

WA’s diverse landscapes offer incredible options for short family getaways. A quick ferry ride to Rottnest Island provides a car-free paradise that is perfect for cycling and spotting-friendly quokkas. Further south, Margaret River combines nature with adventure, from exploring limestone caves to surfing gentle waves at family-friendly beaches. For those seeking a tropical climate, the Ningaloo Reef region is an excellent option.
‎
Swimming with whale sharks or snorkelling over coral gardens makes for an unforgettable experience. If an overseas holiday is on your mind, nearby destinations like Bali or Thailand provide an easy escape, with Club Med’s all-inclusive resorts offering stress-free accommodation, entertainment, and dining for the whole family.

A winter school holiday to Japan’s ski resorts is an exciting alternative to the beach. Club Med Tomamu and Sahoro in Hokkaido are perfect for WA families looking to experience world-class skiing with the convenience of all-inclusive service. These resorts provide ski-in and ski-out access, English-speaking instructors, and tailored lessons for all ages.

Beyond skiing, kids can enjoy snow play, tobogganing, and indoor pools while parents relax in traditional onsens or enjoy après-ski entertainment. The best snow conditions typically fall between January and February, but WA families travelling in December can still enjoy excellent skiing in Japan’s renowned powder snow.

Booking early is the best way to secure the lowest prices and preferred travel dates. Club Med frequently offers early bird discounts and special deals for families that include reduced rates for children.
‎
Flexible booking policies provide added security, which allows families to adjust plans if needed. For those planning a holiday during peak seasons, combining flight and accommodation bookings through Club Med can often lead to extra savings.

To ensure a smooth school holiday trip, booking flights and accommodations well in advance is key, especially for popular destinations. To make the travel stress-free, pack efficiently, include entertainment, and don’t forget about essentials for kids.
‎
You can easily navigate airports during peak times with early check-in and travel-friendly accessories like noise-cancelling headphones and snacks. Just make sure to keep all your travel documents organized to ensure a hassle-free journey.

Ensuring a safe holiday means considering travel insurance, health precautions, and family-friendly destinations. Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses and cancellations is the most important thing.
‎
Destinations known for strong safety standards, such as Club Med resorts, provide peace of mind with on-site medical facilities and trained staff. Stay hydrated, apply sunscreen, and practice good hygiene to help keep everyone healthy while travelling.
