Homework is very important in the academic work of the School. It is another means of evaluating the child’s work in class.
In the Lower Primary Department, homework is given daily and every pupil is expected to do the work before it is handed to the teacher the next day.
At the Upper primary and Junior High School Department, subject teachers give homework daily according to a timetable. Parents must ensure that their children do their homework before they hand them to the teachers on the due date.
Parents should check with the school if their child persistently says she/he has no homework. If a child is unable to do his/her homework, a letter from a parent should be submitted stating the reason.
