Learning commences at 8.50am and concludes at 3.00pm. There are four periods during each school day that run for a length of 70-80 minutes each.

The first bell will ring at 8.45am and it is expected that students are at their classroom with all required learning materials prior to 8.50am.

There are two break times during the day of 15 minutes and one larger lunch break of 50 minutes. The canteen is available for students during the first break of the day and lunch.

Prior to school we operate “What I Need Time”, also known as “WIN”. This program occurs each day. “WIN” time consists of different workshops and tutorials specific to student needs. At the conclusion of week 1 we will publish the “WIN” timetable for Term 1. Students can choose to attend “WIN” of their own volition, alternatively teachers may recommend that a student attend a session/s.

Our school Learning Hub is open and available for students after school until 4.00pm. Students can access this space after school to complete homework, classwork, study or to engage in school activities. Similarly, after school activities such as extra-curricular training and rehearsals will take place as per the activities outlined schedule.

How to read your child’s timetable:

On day 1, your student will receive their first timetable. Upon receiving this information their teacher will explain to them how to read and interpret.

We operate a two-week rotational timetable at Foxwell State Secondary College.

During a two-week period, your student will participate in the following timetables classes:
