Daily Program
Every school day comprises seven periods, a recess break, homeroom assembly and a lunch break. The school operates on a fortnightly timetable. Junior school assemblies are allocated one period a fortnight, whilst Senior school assemblies are allocated one period a week. Year 9 and 10 mass singing sessions are allocated one period a week and year 9-12 weekly sport sessions are allocated two consecutive periods a week. Most formal VCE classes are not held during Wednesdays periods 6 and 7, allowing time for students' personal study and school-assessed coursework examinations to be held. School commences at 8:50am every day, and all formal classes end at 3:20pm. As of 2011, a largely student-fought initiative led to year 12 students not being required at school for any free periods they may have at the start or end of the day.

Famous quotes containing the words daily and/or program:
“In daily life what distinguishes the master is the using those materials he has, instead of looking about for what are more renowned, or what others have used well.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
