School Day
Lessons begin within school at 8:35am, and all students are required to sign in to the school using their cards by 8:30am. There are five lessons within a school day all lasting 1 hour 15 minutes long, which allows for extra curricular learning. Students receive a fifteen-minute breakfast break during lesson one, and a thirty-minute lunch break in lesson three. They do not have playtime during these breaks, but do have an option to sit in the courtyard located in the centre of the school during the summer time. The school day ends at 4:05pm with school buses departing at 4:15pm from the front of the college. After-school activities and clubs are also available for students wishing to stay on past 4:05pm, students however cannot stay on, on Friday. Students who choose to stay on can only stay in the school until 6pm. There are eight tutor groups in each year group and these are as follows: B, R, K, W, E, S, T, and N.

Famous quotes containing the words school day, school and/or day:
“School days, school days; dear old golden rule days.
Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic; taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick.”
—Will D. Cobb (1876–1930)
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“A tree is made to live in peace in the color of day and in friendship with the sun, the wind and the rain. Its roots plunge in the fat fermentation of the soil, sucking in its elemental humors, its fortifying juices. Trees always seem lost in a great tranquil dream. The dark rising sap makes them groan in the warm afternoons. A tree is a living being that knows the course of the clouds and presses the storms because it is full of birds’ nests.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
