Information

At Blockhouse Bay Primary School our timetable provides two 40 minute breaks. During the first break the children sit down to eat for the first ten minutes, supervised by a teacher. They may then play although some children may wish to continue eating.

During the second break children play for 30 minutes first, then have 15 minutes of eating time.

There will be the opportunity for a ‘Brain Food Break’ around 10am.
