Last year our parent consultative group discussed a number of issues and one of these is
homework. Currently Sacred Heart has a homework policy that reflects the importance of
reading and sharing reading with your children. This year our teachers have worked to
formalise this process more however we are keen to explore what "homework" means to
our staff, students and families at Sacred Heart. As part of this process I would like to
host a Homework Forum on June 13th at 6;30pm. This Forum will be hosted face to face
as well as having an online component for anyone who can't make it to school on the 13th.
The forum will include some small group discussions and brainstorming about the purpose
of homework, what we as a community want to achieve with homework and what
"homework" looks like to different families. Our staff will then reflect on this input and how
it fits in with pedagogical approach that we have here at Sacred Heart.
