• In Croatia one school period lasts for 45 minutes.
• One week we go to school in the morning (from 8 a.m.) and another week we go to school in the afternoon (from 2 p.m.).
• Every day two pupils sit in the school hall and keep an eye on everything that’s going on in school.
School breaks There are 4 short (5 minute) breaks
and 2 big ones.(10 minute)• During the first long break, which is
after the second period, breakfast is served for younger studens while the older ones have breakfast during the second long break. They all eat in the school canteen.
