Grade 10 Homework Schedule

Grade 10 students are now in the process of preparing for their external I.G.C.S.E. examinations in May - June 2009. It is, therefore, critical that tasks assigned for homework are given the highest level of priority.

Homework:

• encourages and promotes good private study habits and attitudes
• reinforces class lessons and generates practice of the topics taught
  
• consolidates learning through revision
• prepares students for future study
• encourages individual learning, research and reading

Guidelines

• Homework is regarded as an integral part of the instructional programme and the satisfactory completion of all homework tasks is mandatory.
  
• In addition to any written homework, Grade 10 students are expected to study independently every day, setting aside time for research and revision.
• Students are required to keep a Homework Book, in which each homework task must be recorded. Against each task should be written the date by which the work is due. Completed homework must be given directly to the teacher concerned.
• Homework tasks, designed to take about 30 - 45 minutes of conscientious work, should be completed according to the schedule below:

What happens when homwork is not completed on time?

If homework is handed in late or incomplete, the student will be required to attend Homework Detention the following Friday afternoon from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. Parents will be given at least 24 hours notice of this and are asked to support the school in ensuring that students understand that we take homework very seriously.
