Help with homework
Teachers ensure that homework is set as part of a balanced lifestyle. This gives students the opportunity to further their classroom learning while leaving enough time for family, recreation and other activities.
Homework helps students:
- consolidate classroom learning
- prepare for and expand on classroom learning
- involve family members in their learning
- become independent learners.
When and where should my child do homework?
It is helpful for students to establish routines for homework like:
- setting a time to complete homework
- finding a space that is free of distractions.
How can I help?
You can help your child by:
- encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning and time management
- supporting them to complete tasks by discussing key questions and directing them to helpful and appropriate resources
- participating with them in online learning forums
- reading and playing games with them
- involving them in tasks; including shopping and cooking
- encouraging them to read and to take an interest in and discuss local, national and international events
