Homework Policy
Find out how the school uses homework to support your child's learning, and what the expected weekly hours are for each level.
1. Homework refers to any learning activity that students are required by the school to complete outside of curriculum time. It includes all tasks and assignments including those given through the Student Learning Space that require them to complete outside of curriculum time.
2. Effective use of homework enables students to:
reinforce learning and deepen their conceptual understanding
be more skilful in applying what they have learned
develop good study skills and habits
take greater ownership and responsibility for independent learning
3. Homework provides parents with:
timely information on the learning progress of their child
opportunities to be involved in their child's learning
4. Our proposed weekly time norms for assigning homework is as follows:
Recommended weekly homework hours by primary level
Level | No of Hours |
P1 and P2 | 3 - 7 hours |
P3 and P4 | 6 - 10 hours |
P5 and P6 | 9 - 13 hours |
5. Homework will not be assigned for Public Holidays Monday and for CCA day, as it is a long school day for most of the students.
6. All assignments for the class will be written on the whiteboard in the homework column.
