[Year 12 IT Apps] Not sure where to ask this?

[Jim Bunn]

Hampton Park Secondary has 4, 72 minute periods and a 15 day cycle. Most
teachers and most students I've spoken to about it don't like it. For our
kids at least, 72 minutes is a long time for them to remain focussed on
class work, even with a variety of tasks for them to do. One good thing
about the 72 minute periods is that teachers can get a lot of work done in a
72 minute prep period. BTW IT at years 7 and 8 is fully integrated into the
curriculum (which is not very effective - students are not learning good IT
practices), year 9 has several electives and are 2 periods a week, while the
year 10 IT electives go for three periods a week.

Good morning,

 

very sorry to ask on our IT list, but can anyone help me as to where to ask
the following question:

 

Does your school run a 4 period, 6 period or any other period timetable and
what do people think about their school's TT structure?

 

My school is going through a process of timetable evaluation and I was
hoping to help with some feedback for our leadership team.

 

Thank-you kindly and sorry as I know everyone is very busy,

Litsa xo
