<p>Wow, you all seem to have terribly complicated schedules! My school is relatively simple: The classes are arranged slightly strangely, but that is only because we have a week 1 and a week 2 and each day is numbered 1 to 10: So, for example my longest period on thursday in week 1 is PE, and the same period in week 2 is RE (Body, Mind and Spirit). It confused me at first, but now i like it becuase it gives some variety. We have about a 5 minutie break in between everything and a bell rings 5 mins before the start of the day, before the end of recess and the end of lunch.
Tomorrow for example it is Day 6, week 2 and my time table is as follows:
Day 6 </p>
<p>Roll Call 8:30 Roll Call
Period 1 8:40 English
Period 2 10:00 Mathematics
Recess 10:45<br>
House Period 11:10
Period 3 11:50 Body Mind & Spirit<br>
Lunch 1:10<br>
Period 4 2:00 Biology
Home time: 3:30</p>
<p>NOTE: house period is like homeroom, some days we are in our home room classes, sometimes it is school assembly, sometimes eucharist (my school is Anglican), ans sometimes we have a house meeting (we are divided into houses (for sports carnivals etc)and our homeroom class is all the people in our year in our house)</p>
<p>BUT on Tuesday it is:
Day 7</p>
<p>Roll Call 8:30 Roll Call
Period 1 8:40 Mathematics
Period 2 10:00 French<br>
Recess 10:45<br>
House Period 11:10 School Assembly
Period 3 11:50 Software Design
Lunch 1:10<br>
Period 4 2:00 Humanities (International studies, History and Geography all in the one)
Home time: 3.30</p>
<p>After school on tuesdays is sport training and on Thurdays we have our games which start halfway through lunch, so we have no classes on thursdays. Plus, for extra-curriculars i,e Clubs, orchestras, music elssons, chiors etc they are all scheduled into the day, either at lunch after/before school or during period 2 some days. And on fridays period four is divided into two periods.</p>
<p>Oh, BTW i am in Australia so thats why i have school tomorrow (sigh).
It is interesting, unlike in America where it seems each county has guidlines for its governement schools schedules.Each school creates their own schedules so every school is dramtically different around when they start and end etc. But, nearly all school have 2-30 mins for recess and 1 hour for lunch, which is VERY nice.LOL. After writing all this it seems much more complicated, but it doesnt seem so.sorry for the long post.</p>
