We believe that homework not only supports the learning that takes place throughout the day, but also promotes individual responsibility, good work habits and time management skills. Homework expectations are different for each grade and teacher but are set in relation to class work.

Students are responsible for completing their homework. We appreciate the support from families in checking that homework is being done; however, it should not be a source of conflict in your home. If students are not fulfilling their responsibilities, it will be discussed between the teacher and the student.

In the Secondary School, the general homework expectations are as follows.

As a general guide, students are expected to engage in homework activities for the times indicated below per night, not including recreational reading.

Grades 6–8:	45 to 90 minutes
Grades 9–10:	60 to 120 minutes
Grades 11–12:	90 to 180 minutes

An important component of our approach to homework assignments is that it is designed to aid the acquisition of study skills—students are taught strategies that are appropriate to particular subjects and address individual learning styles which will continue to serve them in university and beyond. As part of their homework, students may be required to research or collect data necessary for school activities.
