Homework Policy

Homework Policy Update

The Homework Policy for MBSC has been updated!!

If you would like to read the policy in full, please head over to the School’s website.

We have reviewed regularity of homework and this may create changes to how many homework tasks students receive in classes. Homework tasks will be recorded as a Learning Task on Compass so students can access the instructions from home when needed.

Straight from the policy, here are the responsibilities and expectations for students and parents/carers:

Responsibilities and expectations for students are to:

· be aware of the school’s homework policy

· accept responsibility for the completion of homework tasks within set time frames

· implement feedback when given

· seek assistance when difficulties arise

· organise their time to manage homework and home study requirements

· be proactive in communication with teachers regarding set time frames and types of tasks

· refer to Compass for homework requirements and set time frames, where needed

Responsibilities and expectations for parents/carers are to:

· support homework and home study habits

· encourage child/ren to communicate with their teachers about any concerns they have about the homework

· follow up with teachers about any concerns they have about the homework if needed after student-teacher communication

· ensure there is a quiet study area for their child to complete homework.

· refer to Compass for homework requirements and set time frames, where needed

Support for students and parents/carers:

Mount Beauty Secondary College understands that students have different learning strengths, preferences and interests and may approach learning activities and homework differently. If students are experiencing difficulties with set homework, we encourage them to communicate with and seek assistance from their teacher. If parents/carers are concerned their child may not understand the homework tasks that have been set or is spending a long period of time completing their homework, we encourage parents/carers to speak to their child’s teacher.
