Title: Melbourne High Info
Post by: jin0016 on October 06, 2016, 07:12:51 pm
Hi Guys

I was just wandering if anyone knows the daily schedule of a typical day at MHS? Does anyone else know if they have heating and air conditioning in the buildings? Are the facilities good compared to other selective schools?

For Year 9: English, Maths, language (jap,french, german), History/Geography (one semester each), electives, pe.

We have seven periods in one day (each period is 43 minutes), recess is after period 3 whilst lunch is after period 5.


Does anyone else know if they have heating and air conditioning in the buildings?

Yes, although some of the older rooms only have a fan

Are the facilities good compared to other selective schools?
Decent? Classrooms are kinda old in the T building, but they started refurbishing some of the really really old rooms. Hockey field and gym is ok
