2021 Timetable
The timetable at PIC is slightly different for 2021. These changes have been brought about by the needs of our curriculum and to accommodate exciting new learning initiatives such as Strive for Success (SfS) and PIC+. It was also important to realign the timetables across sub-schools to create continuity.
• Extended Learning is a time before and after school when the Senior Centre is open for senior students.
