Twilight runs from 3:20 to 5pm, Monday to Thursday. Sign up for Twilight can be found on the Arbor parent portal.
Detentions
- Detentions will run Tuesday to Friday, lasting between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the level of sanction.
- For more serious concerns, or in cases of repeated failure to attend standard detentions, students will be required to attend a 90-minute Senior Leadership Team (SLT) detention. These will be held once a week on Thursdays.
Parents will be notified in advance when a student is required to attend an SLT detention.
