Homework Approach
Home learning is designed to support, not stifle. We provide structured guidance via Canvas and the student portal so that work is purposeful and paced.
With support from teachers and clear feedback, boys grow as confident, autonomous learners while still having time for sport, community and rest.
At the same time, we recognise that our students have commitments outside of school, including sport and jobs and that students should therefore not be overloaded.
Home learning, with a clear purpose of consolidating student learning, can be an effective tool.
The College is committed to providing home learning guidance and resources for students through Canvas for them to work on during each Term at their own pace, to develop them as independent and autonomous life-long learners. Specific home learning may also be set by teachers and if this is the case, it will be recorded on the student portal and feedback provided.
Based on educational research, the following guidance is provided for the amount of time that students should spend on home learning. Note that other commitments, student capacity, and assessment task due dates will be factors that will influence this.
- Years 7 and 8 – minimum 30 mins per day
- Years 9 and 10 – minimum 45 mins per day
- Years 11 and 12 (depending on HSC pathway) – 60+ mins per day
