=Bell Times =   The College day is typically six teaching periods of 48 minute length. Some senior classes may have a period 0 at the start of the day or a period 7 at the end of the day.  The day starts with a locker bell at 9:00 am followed by a Form Assembly. Attendance at Form Assembly is COMPULSORY!  There is a brief 20 minute recess break in the morning and a longer 45 minute lunch break in the afternoon. Period 6 finishes at 3:17 pm.  Period 0 and 7 are used to timetable Year 10, 11 and 12 VCE & VCAL classes as required.
