Student Timetables
Student timetables will be made available through the MyGymea app and web platform from the middle of January and will be accessible to students prior to their first day back at school.
Year 7 students and students new to Gymea will see their timetables on MyGymea after their first day at school as they roll into our systems and will be provided with a printed timetable on their first day.
Printed student timetables will be made available on Day 1 from the office as requested for those students who could not access MyGymea.
2024 year group Google classrooms will be created which will provide updates as well as a link to queries and changes for subject electives for students in years 9, 10 and 11.
We ask all students to enter into their Year Group Google Classroom in the week before school starts and complete a set task to assist in getting organised for the new year.
The Senior Timetable for Years 11 and 12
This is the first year of schooling for Year 11 students where they will predominantly study courses they have individually chosen to study. It is different from junior school so below are some key pieces of information on what makes it different.
Periods with no scheduled class: Students may have a period free on their timetable at different points throughout the week. These are classed as study periods and are times where students should look to make use of the library, a spare classroom or many of the different outdoor tables to stay on top of their work.
Period 0 and 7: There will be some students who have a Period 0 or 7 scheduled on their timetable. Period 0 starts at 7:50am and is their first scheduled period of the day and their official roll mark for the day. Period 7 commences at 3:00pm and finishes at 3:50pm.
First and last periods with no class: Roll call is based on the student’s first period of the day. If a student does not have a scheduled class period 1, then their scheduled start is period 2. Likewise, if their last scheduled period is Period 5, then they finish school for the day at the end of that period. Students cannot leave school between their first and last period of the day.
Curriculum Day: To help reduce the number of non-scheduled periods on any day, the senior curriculum has been scheduled into a 9 day fortnight. Every second Wednesday (Week A for Year 12 and Week B for Year 11) will be regarded as a Curriculum Day and attendance is not required at school unless (for some) there are some classes scheduled on that day. This day may be used to run curriculum initiatives but will primarily be available for students to study from home to keep on top of course work and build their study in each of their courses.
Be prepared with full school uniform
Gymea Technology High School is a uniform school. Students must be in full school uniform each day.
The wearing of school uniform helps to promote a sense of belonging, positive identity and also contributes to the personal safety of all students.
It is an expectation that all students begin the school year prepared for learning and in full school uniform.
We sincerely thank our families for their support throughout Term 4 2023 in ensuring our students are in full school uniform every day. We look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure the consistency of our school’s uniform expectations.
Items that belong to our full school uniform and sports uniform are outlined on our Community Link site, as well as links to pay and purchase items directly.
