The New School Day

The school day is divided into 4 periods of 45 minutes with a daily 40 minute access to a tutor time slot, a morning break and lunch break.

There is a morning registration at the start of the day, recording the attendance electronically, with students expected to be in place to begin sessions promptly at 09.30 hrs. Attendance is recorded to promote the importance of punctuality with a late mark being issued after 09.30 hrs.

There is an afternoon registration officially starting the afternoon session taken promptly at 12.20 hrs. A late mark is issued after 12.30 hrs.

At lunchtime a snack meal is available for all students, if they wish and are provided free of charge. Students requiring a meal are expected to have this before leaving the premises. Permission to leave the premises at break and lunchtimes is sought from parents and those without permission remain on the premises. Permission requests form part of the interview/induction process.
