School Holidays 2020 Singapore

Update: 21 April 2020

4-WEEK SCHOOL HOLIDAYS TO BEGIN ON 5 MAY

With the Multi-Ministry Taskforce’s decision to extend the Circuit Breaker (CB) period till 1 June 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) will bring forward the June holidays to 5 May 2020. While HBL has been going well, it has been an intense period of hard work and adjustment for parents, students and teachers. An early June holiday will give everyone a respite. It also buys us time for a less restrictive school opening in June.

With the school holidays brought forward, lessons will resume on 2 June 2020 (more details on the format of these lessons – physical classes, partial HBL or full HBL – will be released at a later date depending on the national posture at that time). This means that Term 3 will now be longer, but we will institute a one-week mid-term break from 20 to 26 July 2020. These adjustments will apply to all MOE Kindergartens, primary, secondary and Pre-University students, including students from Special Education (SPED) schools. The revised academic calendar is as follows:

5 May 2020 to 1 June 2020: School holidays
2 June 2020: Start of Term 3
20 July 2020 to 26 July 2020: Mid-term break
6 September 2020: End of Term 3
