Homework
Students at St John’s School will be expected to complete formal homework that is relevant, suited to a child’s ability and is not too time-consuming. Homework enables and encourages students to become self-directing, to develop good study habits and routines, and to promote independent learning. It may be used to reinforce classroom learning, to develop life-long and lifewide learning skills and to more closely link home and school in supporting children’s learning.
We believe that homework is to be valued as a purposeful, worthwhile learning experience that seeks to enhance the extent to which each child benefits from the school’s educational program.
If you or your children have questions or concerns regarding the type, amount or requirements of homework, please speak with your child’s classroom teacher.
