At Braemar College, we take great care in reviewing our calendar each year to ensure that student learning days are consistent and that our staff have access to appropriate professional learning opportunitiesthroughouttheacademicyear.
In 2026, the number of student attendance days remains consistent with previous years Given the colder climate in Woodend during the middle of the year, we will continue to implement a three-week mid-year break. The middle week of this break will be a full College shutdown, allowing all staff to take a breakandrechargemid-year.
