Calendar of provincial assessments and examinations

Each year, the Student Assessment team sets a date range for schools to administer assessments. When selecting specific days within this range, schools are encouraged to consider individual student circumstances, including religious and cultural holidays and observances. For more information, please refer to the Assessment Handbook. 

Examination dates are fixed and set by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
