At our school, we believe that homework should be appropriate for the age and developmental stage of our students. Our goal is to foster independent learners who can effectively manage their time and view learning as a lifelong skill, not just something confined to the classroom.

Homework will vary depending on the type of learners and the subject matter, ensuring it is always relevant and beneficial. For students from Prep to Year 6, the focus is on mastering foundational skills that will support their success in more complex areas as they progress.

Key areas of emphasis include:

• Learning sight words (especially in the early years)
• Understanding spelling rules
• Building vocabulary
• Exploring mathematical concepts such as times tables and place value​

We expect students to spend between 20 to 40 minutes on homework each weeknight, with the amount increasing as they advance to Year 6. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on daily reading, whether students are reading independently or being read to.

Our homework policy aims to balance academic rigor with the individual needs of our students, helping them develop into capable and confident learners.
