Independent and Catholic schools in Western Australia generally follow a similar calendar but may vary slightly, including additional pupil-free or staff development days — confirm directly with the school if relevant.

How Families Can Use This Calendar
Knowing the Morley Primary School calendar in advance helps families:
- Plan holidays and travel during the official term breaks rather than during instructional weeks.
- Prepare for the start of each term, including organising uniforms, books, and other requirements.
- Stay aware of WA-specific public holidays such as Western Australia Day, which fall within term time.
- Plan around the long-term 4 break, which runs from mid-December through to early February of the following year.
Pupil-Free Days and Professional Development
Throughout the year, Morley Primary School schedules pupil-free days for teacher professional development, during which students do not attend school.

Parents are notified well in advance of any scheduled pupil-free days so they can arrange alternative care if needed.
