VCE school timetable

[Mint]

Is my school the only one with a 4 period day? :S

we do too!

1) 5.. i think
2) 75mins -such a long time o-o-
3) yeah If we have a spare during that time
4) I think we're meant to study.. but last year I just went out
5) 3 periods per week

[eeps]

Woahh that's literally like a detention. So strict.

Yeahhh, it's not that bad. We can still talk in class and stuff. They; being the teachers take the roll too, to see if students turn up or just wag the period. It's intense. :p

2) 75mins

that's just silly.

2) 75mins

that's just silly.

It would be an administrative and timetabling nightmare to organise 2100 students into 6 period days though.. apparently the new buildings have this air circulation system that measures carbon dioxide and keeps us from losing focus.

Slightly off-topic; we had the option of doing Friday activities, which is like extra-curricular activities offered by my school on Friday afternoons. There were some interesting activities offered. I tried "Chinese power breathing" last year; that was weird! You breath in and out for like 40 minutes with our Chinese teacher. I didn't get the point of it; it was suppose to help your "mind, body and spirit". Does any other school offer that sort of thing? I doubt it. LOL. :p

LOL if my school had that kind of thing, NO ONE would attend.

Sounds like a load of shit to me. But it may be true.....

Did some digging and found this. So I guess it is legit.

Oh, wow is that your school? that design is epic :O

Wow thanks for all the replies. I see there are a lot of complex timetabling systems. It's taking me a while to kind of understand each system. I wished I was able to leave school grounds in spares wedged between classes. Lol, theres hardly even a fence to contain us all

1) I have 5 spares because I do 5 subjects. If you do 4 subjects, you get 10 spares

2) 50 minutes on Tuesday, thursday and Friday. 45 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, mainly because there's assemblies on Monday and everyone in the school get to leave at 1:35 on Wednesday  

3) if you have a single or double free in the morning, you can come later. If you have a single or double free in the afternoon, you can leave earlier. If you have a single or double free in the middle of the day, you have to study

4) we're meant to study in our frees or if you do an instrument you go to your music classes or if you're doing a LOTE, you need to practice conversational skills with a teacher aid at least once a week

5) 5 periods a subject

@Furbob, is the year 12 treehouse actually in a tree? What do you do in there.?

@Werdna, are you voluntarily tutoring?

@Pixon, the layout of my school library's tables was inspired by MGS lol

@EPL.11.4eva, extracurricular activities sounds fun. I have the option of doing some on my Wednesday afternoons

WHOO 10 frees a week next year. can't wait!

azngirl and I go to the same school, so my answer's the same as hers.

Also, I'm frustrated I haven't got my timetable yet - and hence don't know my teachers.

It looks good, especially in the dark. It reminds me of one of those modern houses that has won design of the year or something.

Would boarding school work at DHS?

Very sleek designs. I like it.

I'm still waiting for my VCE school timetable to arrive in the mail, but if anyone knows theirs please discuss:
1) how many spares/frees you have
2) how long your classes are
3) do you get to leave school early or come in later
4) the flexibility of what you can do in your frees/spares
5) how many classes of a certain subject you have per a week

I'm just curious as to what goes on at other schools

1) 4 spares every 6 days
2) 45 mins each
3) yup
4) do whatever you want, so long as you don't make trouble
5) i have 6 classes of each subject every 6 days - can't say 5 a week because it doesn't work that way; we have a 6 day cycle

[lilaznkev1n]

1) 10 periods spare per week
2) 1 period = 50min  (7periods per day)
3) i go to school 10:30 on tuesday and leave early 1:10 on tuesday and come to school 11:35 on fridays
4) can do anything in my spares
5) 5 classes per subject so 20 classes per week
