Homework
Primary school children should not be burdened with large amounts of school work to be done in what should be profitable leisure time. However, the discipline of having to attend to some routine learning activity or research work is of value to all children. Homework occurs as the need arises and will mainly involve reading, completing unfinished work or reinforcing previous work. Any homework the child does not understand and which causes frustration should be left.
Money
If children bring money to school please ensure it is in an envelope with the child’s name and purpose written on the outside.
This should be handed into the office for processing. Receipts will be issued on request.
