School Hours & Dates
The school day at Redeemer is structured to maximise learning opportunities for students. We recommend that students arrive from 8:30am to prepare for the day. The Administration Office opens at 8:00am. Playground supervision begins at 8:15am. Primary students arriving earlier are asked to wait in the eating area until released by the teacher on duty, while Secondary students wait in the Secondary School Courtyard.
In the Primary School, the timetable is designed to take advantage of children’s peak attention span in the morning. In the Secondary School, the day is divided into four 70-minute periods.
In Primary School, the days are scheduled in the following way to maximise the improved attention span of young children in the morning.
