Warialda Public School Homework Policy:

"Rationale - Homework is an important component of the teaching and learning process. It strengthens home-school links, allows for practicing and consolidating and extending work done in class, teaches students to plan and organise their time and establishes regular habits of study. It is recognised, however, that homework should not impinge on students’ time for play, leisure and physical activity outside of school.

"Expectations - It is to be expected that homework:

• Be appropriate for each student’s age and ability
• Take into account technology such as computers, email and the internet without disadvantaging those students who do not have access to this technology.
• Be marked promptly and accurately so students have regular feedback."
