The bed times are staggered, depending on the child’s age, The older boys get a little more free time before going to bed in the evening. Generally schools begin putting the juniors to bed about 7:00 pm. The senior bell usually rings at about 8:00pm. Prefects are often given a little extra time. After washing and jumping into bed, most schools allow the children to have a quiet read, rather than as explained at one school “knocking the bloke next door in the head with a pillow, before lights out . The prefects are usually allowed a little extra time as a special privilege, but by 8:45 lights are usually out at most schools. This is often a major difference between the boarders and day children. It is quite common for children at home to have a later bed time and parents vary as to how strictly they enforce it.
