Homework in Senior School

Ministry guidelines place emphasis on independent study. Whereas some in-class time for research on assignments, projects and independent study will be provided, work outside of the class is necessary if excellence is to be achieved.

There will be regularly assigned homework at all grade levels. We believe homework is essential to ensure full understanding of concepts and material taught in class and to help students develop sound work and study habits.

Homework may include completing work begun in class, doing specially assigned work, preparing projects, or reviewing for tests and examinations.

We expect students to be conscientious in completing assigned work. Students are responsible to inform subject teachers when homework assignments cannot be completed in the time allotted.

Students cannot be successful if they just attend class and do nothing to consolidate learning daily. Homework is not busy work and is meant to not only support learning but instill work ethic and values to students at every grade level.

Quality completion of homework and classroom attendance are directly connected and can be correlated to high levels of achievement.
