No more saying of Holy Rosary by boarding students as well as Benediction later in the evening on these two days. On the contrary, assuming the 1st and last days of May and October fall on a free or non-school day, the 20 decades of Holy Rosary are said at 5.00pm by the boarding students and Benediction follows immediately afterwards as stated below. On other days of this Month of May/October, these activities hold thus:

Holy Rosary (5 decades) in the school hall--------------------------------------------------------6.30pm

Benediction (Mon., Tues., Wed., Thur. & Fri. = 5.30am & Sat. = 5.45am) before morning mass and on Sundays, as usual. 

 

NOTES:

1.  This time table is subject to amendment if need arises.

2. More time should be given for Studies, Manual Labour, Main choir Practices, Sports and Cultural practices whenever there is a serious event pertaining to anyone of them, meaning that the school should give more attention for preparation.

3. The regulator should always ring the first warning bell ten minutes to the actual time of the activity and second bell five minutes before the time.  She should ring the bell at the end of every activity. She should for instance, ring bell at the end of morning charge, Siesta, Studies, Games and Labour periods.

4. The hostel prefects should always keep the hostels locked whenever the students are not supposed to be in there like when they ought to be in the classrooms, chapel and refectory but they must be early enough to open the hostels when it is time to go in there.

5. The respective prefects should also put off lights in the hostels, classrooms, refectory, library, infirmary and offices any time these places are not in use. The water prefects and in fact, every student should ensure that taps are closed after fetching water and when water is not running to prevent wasteful out-flow of water when the latter is pumped.

6. The refectory and chapel prefects who hold the keys to the refectory and chapel respectively should always be the first people to arrive there and open these places when they are needed open.

7. The school Matron, Deputy Matron, Auxiliaries and the head functionaries should always help the students and particularly, the regulators to follow this time table religiously.
