Home Study Policy

 Link: Home Study Policy

Eltham High School has developed the Home Study Policy in consultation with parents/carers, students, staff and members of the Policy and Planning Committee of school council, as representatives of the school community. The Policy focuses on supporting student learning and wellbeing by helping students strengthen key knowledge, develop core skills, and reinforce essential concepts. It also encourages positive study habits for lifelong learning and provides opportunities for students to extend their knowledge.

The Policy outlines the responsibilities and expectations of teachers, students and parents/carers in setting, completing, monitoring and responding to homework. Further, it includes recommended home study time commitments, and the available support provided at the sub-school level for students and parents/carers.

The policy forms part of the expectations for student engagement in learning, incorporating classwork, homework, and Common Assessment Tasks (Years 7 - 10) and School Assessed Coursework/Tasks (Years 11 - 12). These elements contribute to student learning and are essential for meeting semester completion requirements.

The Department of Education and Training does not have insurance for personal property of staff, students and visitors. Eltham High School does not take responsibility for items of personal property that are lost, stolen or damaged at school or during all school activities, including camps and excursions.
