Homework

Homework 

Currently, we are trialling a new approach to homework based on feedback from staff, students, and parents. This initiative aims to engage more students in homework and give students the opportunity to work on a longer-term project outside of school hours. 

Homework for Years 1-6 is designed to foster independent and collaborative skills in students. We are currently trialling STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) homework activities that encourage creativity and critical thinking. By engaging in STEAM-related tasks, students can explore concepts through hands-on projects, collaborative problem-solving, and creative expression. This approach promotes a love for learning and prepares them for future challenges in a rapidly evolving world.

It's important to note that homework is not compulsory for students in Years 1-6. We understand that each student has unique circumstances, and we encourage families to engage with homework in a way that suits their needs. For those who choose to work on homework projects, we invite students to bring their completed work in on the due date to participate in our learning exhibition. This event provides an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and learning, share their projects with peers, and celebrate their efforts in a supportive environment. By emphasising participation rather than obligation, we aim to foster a positive attitude towards learning and encourage students to take pride in their accomplishments.
