Western Australian school children return for final term

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 10:54 · Archive

Most school children in Western Australia are returning to school on Monday for the final term of 2026. Year 12 students will not return at the same time, either having already finished for the year or preparing for ATAR exams, which commence later this month.

At Karrinyup Primary, Hugh Rosagro is excited to catch up with friends and check on his class axolotls. His older sister Amelia is marking her ninth birthday by bringing chocolate Smarties to share with her classmates on the first day of term.

For parents, the return to school means resuming routines including preparing lunchboxes and managing after-school activities. Hugh expressed mixed feelings about it being his last term in Year 2, saying he was 'a bit sad' but excited about moving to Year 3, particularly because he performs well at cross country and could compete in interschool competitions.
