GENERAL

The first 10 minutes of the Upper School day is a registration period. There are two 15 minute tea breaks at 09h10 and 10h:55 for all sections. Upper School students have six, 45 minute periods during the morning and two 40 minute lessons in the afternoon. The Middle School timetable is made up of nine 30 minute lessons during the morning and in the afternoons there is a programme of voluntary activities. These include music recorder, rhythm, indoor games, board games, gymnastics, football basketball, volleyball, painting, handicrafts, gardening, science drama etc. The school week ends at 12h:40 on Fridays for the whole school .

ASSEMBLIES

Each term begins and ends with a whole-school assembly in the Hall. Upper School assemblies are held at irregular intervals during the course of a term. The Middle School hold their assemblies on Thursdays between 12h:10 and the end of school (12h:40). The Lower School hold their assemblies on Fridays between 12h:20 and the end of school (12h:40). These assemblies are an integral part of the school routine and all children become involved in the stage performances. This has an important effect on developing their confidence.

LUNCH / TEA BREAKS

Two tuck shops operate on the school premises where children can buy lunches (e.g. spaghetti bolognaise), rolls, chocolate, crisps and soft drinks at reasonable prices. Children may, of course, bring their own refreshments. Some may need to bring a bottle of water, especially in the hot season, although there are water dispensers in school corridors and in some classrooms where filtered water can be obtained.
