MOE School Calendar 2027Term Dates, Holidays & Exams
2027 is a good year to be a parent. Of the 12 public holidays, five are Mon or Fri — New Year's Day, the Chinese New Year holiday in lieu on 8 February, Good Friday, Hari Raya Haji and National Day. That is five long weekends without touching your leave.
Two more are worth one day each. Vesak Day falls on Thursday 20 May and Deepavali on Thursday 28 October — take the Friday off and both become four-day breaks. May is the month to watch: Hari Raya Haji on Monday 17th and Vesak on Thursday 20th land in the same week.
Labour Day and Christmas Day both fall on a Saturday, and Singapore grants no public holiday in lieu for that. Schools are the exception: MOE gives students Monday 3 May and Monday 27 December off in lieu. Chinese New Year works the same way — the gazetted holiday in lieu is Monday 8 February and schools add Tuesday 9 February on top, making it Saturday through Tuesday. Add Tuesday 10 August, the day after National Day, and that is four extra days off school that the public holiday list alone does not show.
a good year!
