Timetable Information
For all students, the daily College timetable runs from 9am – 3 pm, with some variations to this standard timetable at different times. The College year commences in late January and finishes in late November. We follow the primary school term breaks.

The yearly timetable is structured to balance in-College classes and placements in homes or early childhood centre settings. Each student spends up to 30 % of their programme time on practical placement.
