Homework
‘Homework’ is defined as being any learning
activity that pupils are required by the school to
complete outside of curriculum time, either
independently or in partnership with a parent /
guardian. This includes assignments and projects
but not revision of school work or studying for
tests and examinations.
Unfinished classwork does not equate to
homework
Homework
Benefits of homework:
reinforces learning and deepens understanding
of lessons taught;
allow pupils to regularly practise, and apply skills
and concepts taught;
develop good study skills and habits; and
encourage greater ownership and responsibility
for independent learning.
Homework
Homework also provides parents with:
a) timely information on the learning progress of their
child; and
b) opportunity to be involved in the child’s learning.
Teachers will remind pupils to write in their dairy
incomplete work, so that parents are aware and can
monitor the child’s work
Learning Management System
The school hopes to provide pupils with opportunities to
take ownership of their own learning.
The school subscribes to Marshall Cavendish (MC) Online
learning portal to provide students with access to a huge
repository of learning resources to revise and enhance
their learning.
The school will also periodically deliver assignments
through the portal.
Every pupil will be provided with a personal user account.
More details will be provided at a later date.
