to support regional areas but sometimes circumstances mean that it is not

PS The issue of starting PD later (eg 10am) was discussed at the VITTA
Committee Planning weekend yesterday and although it is probably too late to
change next Friday's PD a later start will be considered for future all day
sessions.<br>

<br>
Hi kent,<br>
I feel your pain. Maybe suggest this to your timetabler.<br>
<br>
We run our school on a 2 week cycle - 10 days. Our timetabler counts out<br>
each Day 1, Day 2, etc. in each term.<br>
He then, swaps days on the timetable to add the days we have less of. For<br>
example, if we have 6 x Days 6's (Mondays) and 10 x Day 1's (Friday), he'll<br>
swap 2 Day 1's into 2 Day 6's.<br>
<br>
Therefore, the whole term becomes balanced. It works.<br>
<br>
