Timetable

This is an example of a typical school timetable:

It might look a bit confusing at first but this is how you’d read it:

On Monday at 09.00: First years in Form 3 have History in Prefab One with teacher Linda Stephens

On Monday at 09.40: First years in Form 3 have Maths in Room 8 with teacher Liam Halsey

It goes on:

On Monday at 10.20: First years in Form 3 have French in Computer Room 1 with teacher Anne Finlay

On Monday at 11.00: Everyone has their 15-minute break

On Monday at 11.15: First years in Form 3 have Business Studies in Computer Room 1 with teacher Mary McManus

On Monday at 11.55: First years in Form 3 have a double class of Technical Drawing in the Tech Room with teacher John Gilbert

On Monday at 13.15: Everyone has their 45-minute lunch break

On Monday at 14.00: First years in Form 3 have English in Room 11 with teacher Bernie Ryan

On Monday at 14.40: First years in Form 3 stay in Room 11 for Irish class with teacher Mary English

On Monday at 14.40: First years in Form 3 stay in Room 11 for Irish class with teacher Mary English

On Monday at 15.20 First years in Form 3 have their last class, Science in Lab Room 2 with teacher Frank Ryan.

On Monday at 16.00 everyone’s makes their way home unless you have extracurricular activities on campus.

Have another here look at the full timetable:

Hopefully it’s beginning to make a bit more sense.  

Classes are 4o minutes long each and you finish at 4.00pm every day Monday to Thursday and at 1.15pm on Friday.  Nice!

It can be helpful to colour-code your timetable by subject.

This can make it easier to see when your classes fall during the week. 

Take this timetable:

It can be a lot clearer when you fill in your subjects using different colours:

Now we can see what we have:

That makes a lot of classes – 42 in a week!

It’s a lot easier to spot when the next maths or English class is though and when you might have a double or even a spare class.

You can colour code a lot of things; like notes, exam schedules, homework or revision plans.  It’s a great way to organise, check out this YouTube video on how to colour code like a pro
