normal times - 13.45.
We are sitting our exams in the big gym (Year 7, 8 and 9) and the library (Year

rooms at 7.00 and then they will be taken to the gym or Library by their tutors.
Late arrivals will miss on their exam time. Each day students will be given the
opportunity to revise for the upcoming day after 1st break from 10.15 11.15,
