Timetables

Learning Intention

We are learning how to use a timetable.

Success Criteria

• I can read my timetable.

• I am able to understand the codes used on the timetable to find classrooms.

• I am able to use my timetable to get organised for each day,

Why do we have a timetable?

The school timetable allows you to know the exact time and duration of each class period. For SPMC, having a timetable allows over 1000 students and teachers to prepare for and participate in learning every day.

Without a school timetable, you would have no idea how to prepare for the day, when to go to lockers If you have one), when to have a break, how much transit time you have before you are late for class, who their teachers are or where your lesson is to be held.

The SPMC Timetable

At SPMC we have a two-week or 10 day timetable. We have a Week A and a Week B. So after a fortnight, lessons repeat.

Then we have a daily routine. Our day starts at 8:45am and ends at 3:15pm. We have 5 periods a day, each one goes for 60 minutes. Our day works like this:

• Homeroom

• Periods 1 & 2

• Break 1

• Periods 3 & 4

• Break 2

• Period 5

Each Thursday we have 2hours of sport, so things look a little different:

• Homeroom

• Periods 1 & 2

• Break 1

• Period 3

• Break 2

• Sport

You even get an early finish - 2:30pm!
