GUIDELINES
At St Therese’s Catholic Primary School, we value the important contribution homework can make to the development of each child’s literacy and numeracy skills and the establishment of a commitment to creating lifelong learners.
Homework may be completed daily or over a weekly or fortnightly period and can take many forms
including but not limited to:
• reading
