Classes and Timings
Classes normally consist of seven periods on Monday and Tuesday lasting fifty minutes each and six periods lasting the same amoung of time for the rest of the week. Between second and third period there is a ten minute break and between fourth and fith is a forty minute break for lunch. In addition, a 10 minute registration class allows attendance to be recorded, and any housekeeping tasks such as uniform checks or letters home to be attended to.
Most subjects have classes in the size of twenty to thirty pupils. For first to fourth years, classes will be named by year and a set letter (i.e 1A, 3D, 2C) The order of classes does not bear any relation to the skill of the pupils in those groups. In fifth and six year, due to subject choices, classes change with every period, and naming them is not necessary.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Intellectuals can tell themselves anything, sell themselves any bill of goods, which is why they were so often patsies for the ruling classes in nineteenth-century France and England, or twentieth-century Russia and America.”
—Lillian Hellman (1907–1984)
