Bell Times and Structure of the School Day
Our school follows a 4 period day structure, and a two week cyclic timetable. There are 4 periods each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday varies with a 20 minute Springwood Meets session before recess and for Years 8 - 10 there are 3 periods before lunch followed by grade/recreational sport or musical rehearsals. Please note students may have to leave during lunch to be transported to sport locations via bus.
Senior students do not have timetabled classes during Wednesday sport as well as Monday and/or Friday period 4. Extension classes are timetabled during this time and students are welcome to remain at school for private study.
The cyclic timetable means that there will be a Week A and Week B. Students' timetables for the alternate weeks will be different. The required hours for each subject are spread over the two week period.
The school day commences at 8.20 with a preliminary bell to advise students to move to roll call.
The school day ends at 2.30pm, allowing students time to move to buses in a safe and orderly manner.
