Prep Homework
Homework is set each night for children from Year 3 to Year 6, and this consolidates and/or compliments the work done in class. Homework is set according to the age and ability of each child. Homework timetables are given to every child at the beginning of the year. Additionally, a copy is displayed on the classroom information board and copies are displayed on the school’s website.
As a guideline:
- Pupils in Prep 3 are given one piece of homework each weekday and it should take no longer than 20 minutes per subject plus a recommended 10 minutes daily reading practice.
- Pupils in Prep 4 are given one piece of homework each weekday and they should take no longer than 25 minutes per subject plus a recommended 10 minutes daily reading practice.
- Pupils in Prep 5 are given up to two pieces of homework each weekday and they should take no longer than 30 minutes per subject plus a recommended 10 minutes daily reading practice.
- Pupils in Prep 6 are given two pieces of homework each weekday and they should take no longer than 30 minutes per subject plus a recommended 10 minutes daily reading practice.
All pupils keep a Homework Diary. Work is written into the Homework Diary so that a child can work independently either in Homework Club at school or at home. All children are further encouraged to read by participating in the ‘Read for the Stars’ Challenge. We ask parents to check their child’s homework diary each evening.
