Holiday List

The Holiday List lets you define official school holidays, vacation periods, and public holidays for the current academic year. Holidays appear in the student and staff mobile apps, helping everyone stay informed about days off.

• School Admins can create, edit, and delete holidays
• Teachers and Marketing Managers can view the holiday list (read-only)
• Holidays are scoped to the active Session Year — dates must fall within the session year range
• The holiday list is available in the Staff App for quick reference on mobile

Feature Requirement

Holiday Management must be enabled in your school's subscription plan. If you don't see the Holiday List menu item, contact your platform administrator to enable the Holiday Management feature.

Create a Holiday

Navigate to Holiday List

From the sidebar, click **Holiday List**. The Holiday management page opens with the create form at the top and the holiday list table below.

2

Select the Date

Click the **Date** field to open the date picker. Select the holiday date. The date picker is restricted to the current session year range — you cannot pick dates outside the active academic year.

3

Enter the Title

Type a descriptive title for the holiday (e.g., "Christmas Break", "National Day", "Easter Monday"). The title is displayed to students and staff in the mobile app.

4

Add a Description (optional)

Optionally, add a description explaining the holiday or providing additional information (e.g., "Classes resume on January 6th").

5

Submit

Click **Submit** to save the holiday. It will immediately appear in the list table below.

Create Holiday form — date is constrained to the current session year

Form Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
Date	Date Picker	Required	The date of the holiday. Must fall within the current session year range. Format: YYYY-MM-DD.
Title	Text	Required	The name of the holiday (e.g., "National Day", "Easter Monday"). Maximum 128 characters.
Description	Textarea	Optional	Optional details about the holiday. Maximum 1024 characters. Long descriptions are truncated in the list with a "Read More" link.

Date Constraint

The date picker only allows dates within the current session year boundaries. For example, if your session year runs from September 2025 to July 2026, you can only create holidays within that range. To add holidays for a different year, switch the session year from Settings first.

Staff App View

In the Stunov+ Staff App, holidays are displayed prominently to keep staff and teachers informed:

• Home Screen: Upcoming holidays appear in the holidays widget on the dashboard
• Holiday List Screen: A dedicated scrollable list showing all holidays for the current academic year
• Each holiday card displays the date (day number and month), title, and a truncated description with a "Read More" option for longer text

The mobile app syncs holidays via API and supports incremental updates — only new or modified holidays are fetched to save bandwidth.
