Homework/Online Learning

Homework 

As stated in Education Queensland Policy, homework should:

• Allow for student commitment for family, recreation, community and cultural activities.
• Not disadvantage students by the lack of access to resources such as computers and the internet outside school.
• Be effective in supporting learning.
  
   
  
  Homework is most effective when it:

• Is clearly related to class work.
• Is appropriate to particular years of schooling.
• Is varied and differentiated to individual learning needs.
• Consolidates, revises and/or applies student's classroom learning.
• Develops students' independence as a learner through extension activities such as investigating, researching, writing, designing and making.
• Assists students to prepare for upcoming classroom learning, such as collecting relevant materials and information, completing surveys and audits.
• Is monitored by the teacher.
  
   
  
  At Burrowes State School we believe:
  
  Homework is an important part of the learning process, as it gives students the opportunity to consolidate learning and share their school experiences with their family.  The setting of homework takes into account the need for students to have a balanced lifestyle (such as time for family, recreation and activities).
  
   
  
  Parents/Carers/Guardians can also access the homework policy on the policy documents page on our school website. For specific information regarding your child's homework, please contact your child's classroom teacher. ​
