Using research and data, we have made a tweak to our timetable during the day. Read more about this here.

Kia ora,

At the start of Term 3, we are making some changes to our daily timetable. We understand routine is important for students, so we appreciate your understanding as we implement this adjustment.

The New Timetable:

• First Bell: 8:50 AM

• Learning Block 1: 8:50 AM - 10:50 AM. (Fruit break determined by class teacher)

• Supervised Morning Tea Eating: 10:50 AM - 11:00 AM

• Morning Tea Play: 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

• Learning Block 2: 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

• Supervised Lunch Eating: 1:00 PM - 1:15 PM

• Lunch Play: 1:15 PM - 1:45 PM

• Learning Block 3: 1:45 PM - 2:55 PM

Why the Change?

As a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) school, we are constantly striving to improve the learning environment for all students. This revised schedule is based on recent data analysis, which indicated an opportunity to optimise learning and break times. We believe this change will provide students with dedicated time for supervised eating and a clearer separation between learning and play periods.

This timetable is very similar to most schools which have implemented the PB4L approach and these schools have seen marked improvement in attendance, concentration and focused positive interaction at break times in the playground.

What to Expect:

• Teachers will be reviewing the new schedule with students to ensure a smooth transition.

• We encourage you to discuss the changes with your child.

• We will be monitoring the effectiveness of the revised timetable and make further adjustments if necessary.

We appreciate your continued support as we strive to create the best learning environment for all our students.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or the Leadership Team.
