Homework
Homework is gradually introduced to the children in the Primary class as a preparation for home study in their future educational careers. It is used primarily to promote independent work habits, to use skills they are establishing, and to memorise material to be used later in class.
For children to get the full value from homework, parents must help create the proper conditions and atmosphere for concentration and study. A quiet room in the house where other people in the family are also reading or studying is ideal.
Parents of children in the Primary class will be expected to read with their children on a daily basis and to complete homework tasks given by the teacher.
A Home-School agreement has been written and this forms a contract between the parents, children and staff, thus encouraging active participation of all parties.
