Curriculum Our current homework policy is …. The main purpose of homework is for the student to develop a routine of independent study. 1. Students are expected to complete at least 20 minutes recreational reading each night and keep a reading log. 2. Class work not completed in class time will be completed at home. This ‘finishing off’ work has the advantage of being directly related to work done in class. This may include spelling and basic maths facts. 3. All students are expected to complete a Science Fair project and a speech for the Oratory contest as part of their independent studies. 4. Students may undertake Mathematics revision using the “Start Right Workbooks“ which may be purchased from school. Comment/suggestions
