1. Homework Policy
- Homework is an essential part of the curriculum across all class levels, carefully designed by teachers to align with classroom learning and foster academic growth.
- Parents play a key role in supporting their child's study habits, helping them understand the value of independent learning. The goal is to nurture responsibility, initiative, and motivation, so students can manage assignments on their own, without relying on teachers or adults.
- Homework should always serve a meaningful purpose, rather than being mere busywork. Teachers are encouraged to coordinate closely with parents to ensure assignments that are manageable and purposeful. If a teacher notices a student copying work or receiving excessive help from parents or tutors , this matter should be brought to the attention of the the Principal for further review.
