Easter Tuesday is a day off observed by schools, tagged to the end of the long Easter weekend. * Schools worry that camps may soon be a thing of the past* Why is Easter Tuesday a school holiday? “The first school holidays are timed to include the Easter break to create terms of a reasonably uniform length in years when Easter falls early, all or some of the Easter break will be during the first term,” Hurst said. “Schools normally publish their term dates on their website or in the school newsletter, so parents can plan in advance.”The last time Easter fell during term time was 2018. LIBBY WILSON/Stuff Easter Tuesday usually falls during the school holidays, so isn’t noticed by parents.
