How many periods/classes does your school have per day?

Wow, you guys have wild class times hahaha. I don't know if my school has changed the times (during my HSC they were trialling a 30 min recess, 30 min lunch model) but this is how it was for me throughout high school:
Roll call/pastoral care: 8.45-9.00
Period 1: 9.00-10.00
Period 2: 10.00-11.00
Recess: 11.00-11.20
Period 3: 11.20-12.20
Period 4: 12.20-1.20
Lunch: 1.20-2.00
Period 5: 2.00-3.00 then home time yay

Mine was pretty good tbh.
On week A we had 6 periods a day and ended at like 2:47 I think every day.
Week A
Start: 8:40ish
2 periods @ 50ish minutes
Recess: 28 mins?
2 periods
Lunch for like ~50 mins
2 periods
Leave between 2:40 and 2:50
Then on week B, we has 7 periods a day but only 5 on Wednesday when school ended at the start of what would normally be lunch. This was so there was like a dedicated time for extra curriculars after school without making kids stay back extra. So it was like
Week B
Start 8:40ish
2 periods @ 50ish minutes
Recess for 28 or so
3 periods @ 50ish minutes
Lunch
2 more periods
End at 3:27
Except Wednesdays where we leave after period 5 at like 1:15 and go home at lunch basically
I really liked this tbh how things would switch up, and the early finishes made the long days worth it. It was awesome because one year we had a blank tutorial subject on Wednesday week b period 3 and our teacher for that was our PE teacher so it was basically triple PE then go home at lunch

In junior school we used to have 6x50 minute periods, 20 minutes of recess and 40 minutes of lunch. This changed when I was in Year 8 so we had 5x60 minute periods, 30 minutes of recess and 30 minutes of lunch.
But when you go senior schools, we have 6x50 minute periods, 20 minutes of recess and 40 minutes of lunch. We also have 20 minutes of homeroom in the morning, but homeroom is cut shorter on Tuesdays since we have sport. So on Tuesdays, we have 2 lessons in the morning, shorter recess, period 3 and lunch. Afterwards, you do sport (Yr 11), study (Yr 12's who have study privileges taken away) or Major Work until 2.30.

My school has 6 periods in years 7-10, but for VCE there is also period 0, so potentially 7 per day, but you also get spare periods, mostly at the ends of the day. Also some classes can have lunchtime classes.

@FB3 did we go to the same school? Aha. Our school had this exact same timetable! Though before 2014, we used to have 6x45 minute periods. We had lessons 1 and 2, then recess, homeroom then lesson 3 and 4, then lunch, and lesson 5. We did a trial and error period back in early 2014 where we had homeroom after lunch but that didn't work out for anyone. Our school thought that 45 minute periods got us nowhere so we converted to 5x60 minute periods and homeroom got moved before lessons 1 and 2.
