Helping students at home
Having study space at home and establishing a homework routine will help your child with their school work in high school. Find information and tools to help.
Your child will be expected to do more homework and independent study when they start high school, including:
- set homework (revision of what’s covered in class)
- assessments and assignments
- regular additional study (such as extra reading and practice tasks like essays and tests).
Developing a routine and having a set place to do homework can reduce distractions and help reinforce work done in class.
