How this calendar is built

Public holidays, school holidays, and term dates come from the same official VIC datasets behind our Public Holidays and School Holidays pages. Long weekends are calculated from those same public holiday dates — only free, no-leave-required weekends are shown here. Sector-specific closure days are never shown as a day off.
