Homework at Corpus Christi School

Over the past few weeks, your child will have started to bring homework home. 

At Corpus Christi School, there will be no formal homework set for students in Years Prep-2.   However, it is expected that families engage in daily reading:

•   Read by the child
•   Read with the child
•   Read to the child

We ask that you write in their Reading Diaries what they have read each day. 

Suggested time: Average 10-15 minutes of reading time per night.

Formal homework will be assigned to all children in Years 3-6. Homework will be assigned at the beginning of a week with the due date and the required completion format clearly communicated to children and parents.

Homework will be time-based, not task-based. Children will be required to complete what they can in a specified amount of time for each task, which will be made clear on the assigned homework. Tasks are based on what the students have been learning at school. The duration for homework activities at Corpus Christi is:

Years 3/4

• Homework Assignments: Approximately 60-80 minutes per week
• Reading: Average 15 minutes of reading per day

 Years 5/6

• Homework Assignments: Approximately 100-120 minutes per week
• Reading: Average 20 minutes of reading per day

In Years 3 - 6 homework is posted in the community or classes Google Classroom.

Students then complete the assigned work in their homework book. 

Examples of homework from the Year 3/4 and 5/6 Learning Communities:

If you have any questions about the homework your child/ren receives, please see their class teacher.
