HOMEWORK


Homework is given to students from Year One to Year Six. Please refer to the Homework Policy document.  The purposes of homework are:
  • To encourage children to establish a routine of regular work.
  • To give children practice and immediate reinforcement of work conducted at school.
  • To give feedback to parents as to the type of work their child is doing at school and to gauge the success of that work.
  • To give a guide to the teacher if further teaching is required in that area.
  • Allow children to organize their time around other activities.
Whilst homework is very important, it should never be the source of family disharmony. If this is the case, try to ascertain the reason for the distress and ask your child to cease the homework. Please contact the class teacher as soon as possible to discuss the matter. If your child is unable to do any of the set homework due to illness, inability or family commitments, please contact the class teacher.  A note is often sufficient.
