At Algester State School homework is set for Year 1 to Year 6. There is no formal homework for Prep. The nature and format of the homework is decided by the class teacher and takes into consideration the needs of the class and the current classroom activities and areas of study.
Teachers may choose to set homework at the beginning of the week to be completed by the end of the week, or some each night, which is handed in the following morning, or a system that includes aspects of both these approaches. Families have an important role to play in supporting children in their homework tasks.
