Our Daily Timetable
Lessons begin at 8.45am and end at 3.00pm, featuring 4–5 learning periods, a morning whānau class, and breaks for interval and lunch. Our junior (Years 9–10) and senior (Years 11–13) timetables differ slightly to optimise learning experiences and needs for these year levels:
- Juniors: Two 45-minute blocks in the morning (Period 1A and 1B) followed by three 60-minute periods.
- Seniors: One 90-minute block in the morning (Period 1A and 1B) and three 60-minute periods.
Our school bell, the iconic tui bird call, signals transitions between these sessions.
