Timetable:
We have an odd week timetable and an even week timetable (bi-weekly rotation). The even week timetable includes 1 day of Home-based Learning (HBL) for Secondary 1, Secondary 2 and Secondary 3 students.


Reporting time:
All students are required to report to school before 7.30 am from Monday to Thursday. School ends latest by 3.30 pm for lower secondary students. For the upper secondary level, the end-time on different days varies, depending on the students’ subject combinations.

On Fridays, excluding HBL days, all students are required to report to school before 9 am. School will end at 12.20 pm for all levels.


Co-curricular Activities (CCA):
The CCA days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and the number of sessions are dependent on the respective groups and should not exceed three sessions per week. CCA sessions are usually conducted from 3.30 pm to 6 pm. The schedules are provided by the CCA teachers-in-charge.

7. As students in a class will be taking different subjects at different difficulty levels, how will my child know which classroom to go?

Due to the nature of FSBB, the school is looking into providing an individualised timetable for Secondary One students. With this individualised timetable, we hope it will help students understand their timetable and where to go for their subject classes.
