Bell Times
Auckland Grammar School operates a 7-period day timetable with a 9am start for assembly and a 3:15pm finish for all students. On Tuesdays, Form 5 students will have an 8-period day, concluding at 3:30pm and all other year levels will have a 7-period day, finishing at 2:50pm. This change allows Form 5 students to study six different subjects.
Assembly
Daily assembly takes place in the Great Hall, setting the tone for the day and is where the School community acknowledges outstanding academic, sporting and cultural achievements of students.
Students should aim to cross stage at least once during their time at Grammar. Important notices are delivered to the School community at assembly; these include messages about meetings for sports and cultural teams, room changes and any other information affecting the student body. It is also when the first attendance roll of the day is taken.
