Hi Anne!!! *waves*

In same school. School sucks. Our lunch and recess combined aren't as long as Primary lunch. *sniffsniff*

And we begin school fifteen minutes early and end five minutes later...

I hope that the group does lobby for later starting date due to the needs of teenagers.

You know we can't help sleeping late? Something to do with hormonal changes and teenagers must get 9hrs of sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OR was it 8.............................................?

Okay my school is really weird:
Morning admin - 15min
1- 50min
2 - 70min
3 - 45min
4 - 45min
Reading - 20 minutes
5 - 44min
6-43 min
Afternoon admin - 6min

but for next year its changing, because our school lost funding for reading or something.
so they will all be 50 minute periods as well as one 70 minute

I have 6 Periods a day, each 50 mins but there are 5 mins in between periods 3 and 4, 5 and 6 so technically it's 55 minutes for most periods.

Homeroom is about 20 mins and if there's assembly it'll overtake homeroom and periods 1 and 2 will be split evenly if it goes over time.
