Boarding‑school pupils are scheduled to start their holiday on Saturday, 23 May 2026, and are expected to return to their hostels on Sunday, 31 May 2026.

Day‑school students will begin their break earlier, on Friday, 22 May 2026, with classes resuming on Monday, 1 June 2026.

The ministry urged parents and guardians of boarding‑school students to ensure their children are picked up on the designated date and returned promptly.
