For a long time, Ruyton Girls' School form periods in the mornings had worked well, giving students time to settle in, prepare for the day, and be set up for a productive start. However, since the new format places form before lunch, you no longer have these benefits. Instead, we are rushed abruptly into learning, with the added stress of potentially arriving at school and having to complete a test or assignment first thing in the morning.

Additionally, this change disrupts Year 12 students' sleep, preventing them from getting the rest they deserve after studying late into the night. As Ruyton Girls' School, you deserve better.

Please also consider that this change affects teachers as well. Mornings are busy and tiring for them, and under the new format, they no longer have time to grab a coffee or breakfast and adequately prepare to deliver the highest level of teaching and pastoral care to their students.

This petition is also made alongside with Trinity Grammar to ensure that this issue is taken seriously.
