How do school zones work with private schools? (aussie.zone)

Private schools have different holidays to public schools, right? Does that mean when driving past a private school you need to know specifically if that school is on holiday or not? Or is it all done only on the public school terms?

And how does the answer to that question interact with places like Lambert Road, Indooroopilly, where there's a public school on one side and a private school on the other?

(Note: "just look for the flashing lights" is not a helpful answer. Those are a useful aid, but not legally binding. "The light was not flashing" is not actually a legal defence to a charge of speeding in a school zone.)

How does it work for any school? I don't have kids, buggered if I know when school holidays are or aren't - private or public.

You know. There's a shitload more kids everywhere and traffic goes to hell
