Term planner template
An 11-week term grid. Cross out any weeks your term does not use. Put the dates you cannot move on first (holidays, camps, reporting windows), then space everything else around them. How to keep a planner accurate all term is covered in the term planner guide.

Before you fill it in
- Put the dates you cannot move in first: public holidays, curriculum days, camps, swimming, reporting windows, transition days.
- Before placing an optional event, work out what it disturbs: cover, yard duty, specialist sessions, and the release time those sessions deliver.
- Keep the week before reports open as clear as you can, and leave one genuinely empty week as slack.
- Keep one master copy. Date every printout, and send every change through the same owner.
When the template stops being enough
Bell Path keeps the term's events beside the plans they disrupt.
A paper planner lives in a drawer. Bell Path's operations calendar sits beside the timetable, daily cover and yard duty, so when Year 4 camp lands, the event, the people it affects, and the cover you arrange for it are all in one place, and you can share it with staff and families.
