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:
“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
