2026 MACS Gazetted Dates
As part of the Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) network, Marymede Catholic College observes a common calendar of gazetted dates that apply across all MACS schools. These dates are established to ensure consistency across the Archdiocese and include term dates, student-free days, and public holidays.
What are Gazetted Dates?
Gazetted dates are officially designated days within the school calendar that have been approved and published by MACS. They provide certainty for families and staff in planning throughout the academic year and ensure alignment across Catholic schools within the Melbourne Archdiocese.
Key Information:
The 2026 gazetted dates include:
- Term commencement and conclusion dates
- Student-free days designated for professional learning and planning
- Public holidays observed by the College
- Key dates for reporting and parent-teacher conferences
Planning Ahead:
Families are encouraged to note these dates early in the year to assist with planning family commitments, holidays, and other activities. The full calendar of gazetted dates is published on the College website and communicated through the College newsletter and SIMON portal.
Our Commitment:
By adhering to MACS gazetted dates, we ensure consistency and reliability in our annual calendar, supporting families in balancing their commitments while maintaining our focus on educational excellence and staff professional development.
