Homework
Homework assists students to develop independent study habits. Homework also enables students to involve their parents in their education. In primary school the amount of homework will vary with the age of the children and the work currently being done at school. Parents can best assist by ensuring children have a set time to do their homework and by assisting their children to keep 'on task'. If homework cannot be completed, parents are asked to write an explanatory note in the Communication Handbook and Diary. Homework should not be an issue that causes distress to an individual or family. If you believe that your child has made a reasonable attempt then please sign where they are up to and this will meet staff and school requirements. No child should average more than 30 minutes homework per night, including reading.
Lost Property
It is inevitable that children "lose" things at school. Parents are asked to ensure all items of property are identified with the child's name.
All lost property is gathered and placed in large plastic containers which are located at the bottom stairwell closest to the Year One classrooms.
School Photos
Each year a commercial photographer is invited to the school to take photographs of class and other school groups. Individual photographs of students are taken upon request from parents.
Toys And Personal Belongings
Children should not bring toys, games, collectables and personal belongings of value to school. The school has no avenue to replace lost or damaged items and will not be held responsible for their loss.
