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:
“Neither evil tongues,
Rash judgements, nor the sneers of selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e’er prevail against us.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
