Next Year’s Student Timetables – Update from Guidance

Posted May 21, 2025

An important update from LHSS guidance & administration – we have completed the initial stages of student timetabling for next year.  We are now moving ahead with some critical work to ensure student schedules are as complete and balanced as possible for September startup.  Here’s what happens next…

#1 – TIMETABLE CONFLICTS (NEXT FEW WEEKS)

  • ALL students should monitor your school email REGULARLY in case you have a schedule conflict and guidance needs to contact you!
  • If contacted, please respond ASAP and/or book an appointment with your counsellor.
  • Counsellors may also need to call students out of class to fix conflicts during the next few weeks.

#2 – TIMETABLE BALANCING

  • Once we’ve finished step 1, guidance counsellors will need time to review ALL student timetables to ensure courses & workload are relatively balanced between semesters.

#3 – POSSIBLE COURSE CHANGE REQUESTS (AFTER STEPS 1 & 2) – STAY TUNED!

  • There MIGHT be a brief window of time ahead of summer holidays to request some minor changes to next year’s courses once we have fully completed steps 1 and 2 above.
  • If this is possible, we will share updates via Google Classroom in the coming weeks.  Don’t ignore those posts to your classroom stream!

Final student timetables will be available at the start of the new school year – more information to come later in the summer!
