MOE School Calendar SingaporeTerm Dates, Holidays & Exams
Planning 2027? MOE has confirmed the 2027 dates — see every public holiday and term break→2026 has 11 public holidays, but only three are free long weekends — Good Friday on 3 April, Labour Day on 1 May and Christmas Day on 25 December, all Fridays.
Chinese New Year is the one to plan around. It falls on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 February, so booking Monday 16th off turns it into five days straight, Saturday to Wednesday. Hari Raya Haji sits midweek on Wednesday 27 May and works the same way.
Three holidays fall on a Sunday this year — Vesak Day, National Day and Deepavali — which means the Monday after each is a day in lieu. Hari Raya Puasa on Saturday 21 March gets no day in lieu, so that one is lost.
a good year!
