Homework
The College considers homework to be an important part of its academic program. Through a process of consultation with parents of Junior level students, the College has established a homework policy which aims to ensure that students in Years 7 and 8 are not burdened by homework but do have the opportunity to develop skills that foster a lifelong enthusiasm for independent learning and prepare them for their senior school years.
It is emphasised that students in Years 7-9 should not be staying up late, losing sleep or using all their valuable recreation time to cope with homework. Any problem with time should be promptly communicated to the school. Expected minimum Monday - Friday:
