Daily Timetable and Term Dates

Daily Timetable

The daily learning timetable at Upwey South Primary School is designed to reflect that 'structures drive behaviours'. Our daily timetable maximises opportunities for on-task learning, student voice, inclusion, and student engagement.

The Upwey South Primary School daily timetable offers students three recess breaks (as opposed to a traditional primary model of two recess breaks), allowing for students to engage with regular learning breaks as part of our school-wide trauma-informed practices.

In addition to the timetable below, students are provided with supervised eating times throughout the day, consisting of:

in-class supervised brain food breaks (early morning and late afternoon dependent upon age-level)
in-class supervised morning snack 10:20am -10:30am
in-class supervised lunch 12:40pm - 12:50pm
in-class supervised afternoon snack 2:00pm - 2:10pm

Students are not permitted to take food into the yard during recess breaks.
