Homework

The purpose of the Torrens Homework grid is to provide students with an opportunity to develop organisational skills, to manage time effectively and continue to develop the essential skills of reading and mathematics. The Homework grid is in no way intended to be another layer of formalities, but rather a routine of establishing a school-life balance and developing your child's identity and well-being.

Grids contain six components - Reading, Jobs/Home Responsibilities, Physical Activity, Number Sense/Secret Code, Science & German.

Students are expected to record evidence of their Homework. Evidence can be provided through tables, photos, videos, reflections and reviews. This can be done in a book, saved in their Homework Folder on Google Drive or on their iPortfolio Homework page (this will be set up in the near future). Each fortnight students will give and receive peer feedback based on the success criteria provided.

Recording of homework will begin in week 4. Friday week 6 students will be expected to share their evidence. A paper copy of the grid and success criteria will be sent home on Monday of week 4. It will also be published digitally on the Torrens 2021 Google Classroom so that students can access regularly while routines are being established.
