CALL-OVER<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Houses have a roll call known as \u2018Call-over\u2019 after breakfast, at lunchtime, after supper and at lights out every day, at which one of the House Pastoral Team is present. In addition to the registration of pupils, School and House notices are read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PERIODS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lessons are called \u2018periods\u2019 at Harrow Hong Kong; they include activities in the SCA programme as well as academic lessons. There are five periods in the morning, each lasting 50 minutes, with a 20-minute break between the second and third periods. There is a five-minute break between each period to allow pupils time to move from one department to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

MID-MORNING BREAK<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All pupils return to Houses at break for a snack and to change their books for the three periods after break.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LUNCH<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lunch is a formal meal when the House Master or House Mistress, usually accompanied by one or more of the House Pastoral Team, eats with the House in their designated area in the Dining Hall. High standards of behaviour and manners are expected, but lunch is an important break in the middle of the day and an opportunity for building the strong sense of House community with both boarders and day pupils. Occasionally, lunch is \u2018free-seating\u2019 which allows pupils to socialise with friends from other Houses and Year Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASSEMBLY<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Monday morning, there is an Assembly for the Upper School at 8.10am in the Queen Elizabeth II Hall. There is a shortened Tutor time before this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
