School timetable

Rolleston College learners attend four lesson blocks each day, and we use a 6-day timetable. Learn more about the 6-day timetable here.

On Wednesdays, we start at 9:15am and finish early so our learners can participate in the Christchurch town sports competitions.

The lesson block times are listed below.

The five-block day times are listed below.
