For some reason, my school seems to have a fetish for after and before school classes for Year 12. The before school classes start at 7:30am and the after school classes finish at 5pm. At least one of my subjects (Economics) is going to have one of these classes. It's a massive PITA because there's no public transport to my school other than school buses and it's in the middle of nowhere, haha.

But yeah, does anyone else's school do this?

Well we have organised after the end of our early day (tuesday) for our 2U class to do an extra maths lesson since we are behind.

We also have early lessons before school on tuesdays for Biology (meant to be revision and exam strats past papers etc, Only been once, always forget lol)

I don't really mind them, the way your school does them seems to be more organised than mine.

My school only has these for extension classes I think.

Still a pain if you have to get up earlier/stay after later.

It's usually common for some extension subjects, but it's odd to have it for a standard two unit subject.

When I was still in school we had morning classes, most people came late since they lived quite far. It's a pain, if your class is small then maybe you can organise a better time with your teacher?

we used to have lunchtime classes when I did IPT, though now in year 12 there are mostly morning classes and some afternoon classes but all of these are for extension subjects only

Our school had morning classes for two of the four MX2 classes but everything else was on the timetable. Generally, smaller schools run extension classes off timetable whilst the bigger ones and especially selective schools that have a lot of extension students will run the second extensions like MX2 off timetable and everything else on.

It all depends on class sizes, teacher allocation etc

I have extension history on periods 7, Wednesday (today) which are after 3pm till 4pm and Thursdays at 8AM till 9 45
and 4u English at periods 6 and 7 - finishing at 4pm

It's mainly with the extension classes in my school, but for next years timetable they are going to try and include it in the normal 6 period day
