Depot Hill State School homework policy states that
homework is not compulsory. We understand that for some families with busy
lives, homework adds an unnecessary burden. Other families enjoy the connection
which the homework provides with their child’s learning and classroom
activities. Students whose families choose not to take part in homework are not
penalised but we do reward those children who choose to do homework with a Fun
Monday Lunchtime reward.
We are streamlining our approach to homework and
preventing the waste of paper which occurs when homework sheets are given to
students who do not intend to do the homework. Please discuss with your child whether you
would like them to have homework or not. If your family decides that you would
like your children to receive homework, please complete a homework form and return to school.
If your family decides that you do not require
homework, we will no longer hand out
homework sheets/folders to these students. Please contact the office if you
would like further clarification around this policy.
