Year 7 & 8 Sport Dismissal
Dismissal times for Years 7 & 8 ACS students may vary. Please check the weekly sports outline for specific dismissal times, published in Compass via the Newsfeed.
Class Timetables
The College operates on a two-week timetable cycle - Week A and Week B.
As there may be some variation in a student's Week A and Week B routine, we recommend students familiarise themselves with their timetable and make appropriate uniform choices each day.
Timetables are located on a student's Compass profile, under 'Schedule'.
