hopefully they get more flexible with our spares though
WE HAVE A BREADTOP AND SUSHI PLACE ACROSS THE ROAD NOW MANN T-T

I love sushi! THATS AWESOME!!! (and we have so many double frees!)
I've got quite a few. Not looking forward to studying in the library, though. It's always noisy ;A;

my timetable, though, is preeeeetty awesome.

Year 11:

1) I have two spares a week.
2) Each period is 75 minutes long.
3) Year 11s are only allowed to leave school if they have a spare in 4th (last) period.
4) We're not allowed to leave as for as I know, so just chill around the school.
5) I think I have around 3 or 4 per subject, per week with two "late classes" after normal school time. (22 periods a week (inc. late classes) - 2 spares = 20 periods, 3~4 for each of my 6 subjects... haven't counted for each subject, but I think that's how it is.)

75-minute periods are actually pretty productive. You get a lot of work done and there's no 'rush' to get things done... as was the case when we had 50-minute classes. But when you have a subject twice in a day (separated by either recess or lunchtime) then that's when it becomes too much.. 150 minutes of one whole subject isn't the way to go. :P

1) how many spares/frees you have -> 5, soon to be 0 or 1 because im thinking of picking up IT-Software Dev via DECV
2) how long your classes are -> 45 mins
3) do you get to leave school early or come in later -> Leave early (2:30) on thursday, the others are during period 3/4 -_-
4) the flexibility of what you can do in your frees/spares -> Anything :D
5) how many classes of a certain subject you have per a week -> 5 (2 doubles 1 singles)

Yeah, most school seem to have 40~45 minutes periods but I actually quite like 75 minutes! In junior school we had like 10 periods of 30 minutes each, then I moved schools for high school. It was a big change at first but especially in maths classes we seem to get a lot done :) We don't have double periods though, I think that could get a bit much!

Last year during assembly time on some days we had an extra long classes in the afternoon (30 mins assembly time + 75 minute period) but I usually had IT on those days which was pretty bludge anyway :p

1) how many spares/frees you have
at least 2 frees everyday (6 sessions in a day) and we get the whole of wednesday off :P
2) how long your classes are
each session is 48 mins long
3) do you get to leave school early or come in later
normally, I just stay, but it's getting boring since on mondays, I have session 1 off, then class in session 2 and from there 10:23-2:30pm, I do whatever I want and come back for class at 1:30.
4) the flexibility of what you can do in your frees/spares
Go over to Melb , city, state, eat?
5) how many classes of a certain subject you have per a week
For each subject we have 4 sessions per week.
