Homework

A note to all students

At the beginning of the academic year, you were told set days of when homework for English and Mathematics would be given. The timetable for Homework is also available on the blog for reference. It was also explained that Science homework would be given but no set days would be provided as this would change depending on the topic or the amount of work covered within class time.

Unfortunately, I have been disappointed with the standard of homework submitted so far from 5L. Many of you are choosing not to complete homework or you are not completing it to the standard I believe you are capable. Instead, you are rushing through it and making careless errors.

Homework provides opportunities for reinforcement of work learned during school time and for you to develop research skills. You may need to seek information from reference materials such as the internet, books, etc. and by doing so, are helped along the path to becoming independent learners.                

Having the responsibility of needing to meet deadlines promotes self-discipline, an attribute which will impact on school work and beyond.

If you are finding a piece of homework difficult then I do not mind answering questions; as long as those questions are before the day that the homework is due. Can I ask that everyone, from this point onwards, completes homework on time and to the best of their ability.
