The School Day

By Wayne Angus | Posted: Tuesday April 18, 2023

You have five classes each day. You will have several people teaching you. In New Zealand students change classrooms. You go to the teacher – he/she does not come to you.

In addition to your classes you have a form time. Each boy is in a form class based on their school house. There are 4 school house groups made up of boys from years 9-13. This gives the younger boys older ‘brothers’ to look to and learn from. You will meet with your form class for 15 minutes each day. You will stay in the same form class all the time you are at school. On Thursday or Friday (depending on your House) you will have a a House meeting. 

You will also have a one hour assembly each week on a Tuesday (if you are a Senior) and a 15 minute assembly on a Wednesday (if you are a Junior).
