The School Day
Students are expected to arrive punctually for the commencement of Roll Groups at 9.00am. Rolls are marked during each lesson, with the roll from Roll Group generating the absentee list for the day. Daily announcements are read out to students during this time.
The Timetable
The school operates a ten-day timetable of five lessons per day, repeated each fortnight. All lessons (lines) are of equal time in the timetable over the fortnight. A time block is allocated on Tuesday (Week A TB 1) as a meeting time with students, either as a whole school or in year groups. Roll Groups are formed in each year, with approximately 20 students in each group. Students study seven subjects at any one time. The lines are labelled A, B, C, D, E, F and G with subjects being allocated to a whole line for a semester. In Years 7 and 8, six subjects are allocated a whole line each semester with the Arts and Technology sharing a line in a two-year rotation. Printer friendly copies of the timetable are available on the homepage.
The timetable grid operates as follows:

Student Diaries
Students are expected to use student diaries as a homework and school activities record. They are checked regularly by teachers and used as a means of communication between teachers and parents. All students are issued with a student diary, which includes school days and events for planning and study purposes.
