Homework

Homework is an essential part of the learning process for your child and has many benefits.

 

Parents and caregivers can help by:

 

* Assisting in the child’s learning by giving time to listening to their child read.

* Guiding the children in their homework – not doing their homework for them.

* Ensuring that there is time set aside each night for homework.
* Ensuring and supporting students to complete homework.

* Providing where possible, a dedicated place and desk for homework and study.

* Encouraging the children to read and take an interest in current events.

* Assisting teachers in monitoring homework by signing completed work if requested in addition to becoming aware of the amount of homework set.

* Communicating with teachers any concerns about the nature of homework their children’s approach to the homework.

 

Students can help by:

 

* Being aware of the importance of homework.

* Completing homework within the given time frame.

* Alerting parents and caregivers to homework expectations

* Seeking assistance from teachers/parents/caregivers when difficulties arise.

* Showing their homework to their parents/caregivers

* Completing homework to the best of their ability – homework should be neat, complete and handed in on time.

* Organising their time to ensure that enough time can be given each night to complete homework in time for each Friday.

* Working independently as much as they can to maximise educational benefits of homework.

* Trying all questions/parts of homework

Homework is given out on Friday and should be returned by the following Friday for marking.
