HOMEWORK
Homework at St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Blackall means different things to different people. In principle, homework is about school and parents working together as a team to provide a balanced framework for each child to experience diverse experiences as part of their healthy family life.
​
At St. Joseph’s we define homework as the completion, outside of normal school hours, of meaningful and worthwhile practical life skills, fitness, health, cultural, spiritual and academic learning experiences for our children. A broad range of age appropriate activities are proposed for children in each year level.
​
It is acknowledged that there is a need to achieve balance between work, play and family activities. Homework is designed to contribute to positive family relationships and healthy living.
