Homework

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Homework at Sherwood aims to:

• Consolidate learning
• Establish good study habits
• Build patterns of behaviour for lifelong learning beyond the classroom
• Involve family members in learning​
  

We believe homework should be:

• Related to class work
• Purposeful and relevant
• Varied and differentiated
  
• Designed to develop independence ​
  

We all have a role to play

​Teachers will:

• ​Provide purposeful and achievable home tasks based on what has been the focus on the classroom;
• Clearly communicate expectations by providing examples and guiding parents in the correct procedure;
• Clearly advising both students and families when homework is due;
• Ensure homework is marked in a timely manner.​
  

Parents will: 

• Be available to assist your child where necessary, and communicate any concerns to the classroom teacher;
  
• Keep in mind homework is not designed to be a stressful task at home;
  
• Advise the teacher by the due date if homework cannot be completed;
  
• Support the establishment of a homework routine and ensure your child has enough opportunity to complete homework in time. 
  

Students will: 

• Be an enthusiastic​ learner and undertake homework as part of their education;
  
• Take ownership of their homework, which will be set at their level of achievement;
  
• Be responsible for having homework returned to school by the due date;
  
• Access digital learning programs where available, and appropriate, as outlined in the Homework Policy.
