St Mark’s Catholic Primary School Nurturing Hearts, Inspiring Minds, Building Futures

School Dates & Routine

A school routine is a structured and organised schedule that students follow on a daily basis while attending educational institutions. 

This routine plays a crucial role in a student’s life as it provides a sense of order, predictability, and discipline. 

It instils discipline, time management, and a sense of order, all of which are essential skills that students can carry with them throughout their lives.

Our school week time is above 32.5 hours.
