Purpose
This policy guides the implementation of homework at our school. For the purpose of this policy, homework is defined as any task assigned by teachers intended for students to carry out during non-school hours and designed to meet specific learning goals.
Our school values the educational outcomes of homework, when implemented appropriately and effectively. This policy seeks to balance the varied needs and expectations of our community in relation to homework. It also acknowledges that schools are best placed to make local decisions about homework and contextualises these decisions within the Edgeworth Public School setting.
Scope
This policy provides teachers, parents and students with guidelines so that a consistent approach to homework is followed across the whole school. The policy has been developed with reference to the NSW Department of Education’s Homework Policy PD/2002/0003/V02 April 2020 Revision. It is suggested that the department policy be read in conjunction with the school policy.
