Years 1 to TAFE

We use a 7-line timetable structure, offering both core subjects and personalised learning time. Students across all sub-schools benefit from predictable routines and exciting variety.

Unlike traditional models, Benne College tailors lesson lengths for maximum engagement and minimal fatigue. Our 35–45 minute sessions are designed to:

Maximise attention span and focus
Allow teachers to structure lessons for discovery, collaboration, and reflection
Reduce cognitive overload and keep energy high throughout the day

We also break up the day with generous recess and lunch periods to support student movement, play, and social connection.
