To help plan your holiday to Western Australia, this is a guide to WA school holidays for 2022 to 2026. These dates are for primary and secondary students in public schools – private schools have their own holiday dates.

School holidays are a popular and busy time for travel within Western Australia and accommodation prices are at their highest. If you don’t have to travel during these times, consider planning your trip outside of these times. Not only will the regions be quieter, but you are more likely to get cheaper places to stay.
