Homework
We hope you will enjoy sharing with your child this aspect of their learning. The homework your child is given is an important part of their education. It is also one of the ways parents can become aware of and involved in what happens at school, as all homework we set is reviewing what has been taught at school (or, for older children, preparing for a lesson to come.)
We ask that you check your child's homework notebook each night, supervise the homework set and sign the notebook when the work is completed. If any requirement is not clear, or if there are any difficulties, the teacher concerned may be consulted and the situation discussed.
As a guideline:
-
Years 1 to 6 will normally be expected to complete 15-30 minutes of homework each night.
-
For Years 7 to 8 homework allocation of 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Years 9 to 10 will be given one to two hours depending on topics and subjects.
We recommend that you access your child's room on our wikispace www.mcsclassnet.wikispaces.com. This will tell you what the current topics of study are, what memory verse they are studying, what homework must be completed and links to useful sites. Parents will have an excellent base for discussion of homework with their child.
