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.
  • Prep and Year 1 up to 1 hour per week
  • Years 2 and 3 up to 1.5 hours per week
  • Years 4 & 5 up to 2.5 hours per week
  • Year 6 up to 3.5 hours per week

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.
