School Bell Times
Day Structure and Bell times
Princes Hill Secondary College runs 50-minute periods providing 6 periods per day / 30 periods across the week. We use a fortnightly timetable (Week A and Week B) in order to best utilise school resources, alternate the time of day individual classes run, and staff availability.
Our Reception opens from 8:00am and closes at 4:00pm on school days.
All information regarding supervision of students while at school can be found in our Yard Duty and Supervision policy.
