How to Organise Homework
What's for homework? Make sure you write down clearly what your homework is. If you're not sure, ask the teacher who set it.
When should I give it in? Write in your planner when the work is due in. Check your planner every evening to make sure you have time to complete it.
Who can help me? Teachers, parents, older brothers and sisters, grandparents, friends, librarians, etc. Any of these people could be valuable sources for information.
Where should I do my homework? Try to find a quiet place with no distractions. This could be at home or at school in the Resource Centre... Remember?
Pupils who regularly complete homework are more successful in exams. Presentation is important. Always do your homework as carefully as you can. You will be rewarded for completing all homework well.
Homework Guidelines You will receive information in September including the recommended night for homework for each of you subjects. Sometimes homework will not be set on the recommended night and another night may be used. When this happens you will be given more time to complete the homework. If you feel you have too much homework to complete in the time allowed discuss it with your subject or form teacher.

You may wish to follow up a particular interest or develop expertise. You may do this by working at home.

Homework helps you to develop personal qualities, such as self-discipline, independence, confidence and a sense of achievement. These will be useful in your school work and later throughout your life. Homework gives people who care about you, both at school and at home, the opportunity to help with your studies when appropriate.
