and stop what you are doing.

17. Why do homework?
• Practice homework reinforces newly acquired skills taught
in class
• Preparation homework helps students prepare for
upcoming lessons
• Extension homework provides challenging opportunities for
enrichment.

18. Homework Policy
• All students are responsible for turning in their homework
on time
• Late homework will result in a note home.
• You are responsible for recording your homework in your
student diary
• You must attempt all homework – saying “I couldn’t do
it” is a non-attempt at homework and will result in a
note home.
• If you don’t do it – be honest, don’t lie to me as
I will loose respect and trust

19. Beginning of class
• Line up outside in two lines – quietly with your materials in your
hands that you need to learn.
• Enter
• Put away your bag quickly
• Sit at your assigned seat – use the seating plan
• Quietly stand behind your chair
• I will say: “Good Morning Year 8”
• You will say: “Good Morning Mrs Harris”
• I will say: “Please be seated”

20. At the end of class
• Pack up – get you back pack
• Return to your desk
• Pick up any trash
• Push your chair in and stand quietly behind your chair
• I will say: “Good Morning Year 8”
• You will say: “Good Morning Mrs Harris”
• Leave quietly & orderly
