The NSW Department of Education policy states the setting of homework is not compulsory. At Lynwood Park we acknowledge the important partnership with parents/carers, and that parents/carers have an important role in the education of their children.
Our teachers provide quality explicit teaching and learning experiences in the classroom and school environment covering the six Key Learning Areas, developing social and emotional competencies and supporting overall wellbeing of our students.
We support parents in their pursuit of high expectations for their child to reach their full potential.
Traditional ‘Homework’ in the form of a worksheet will not be provided for our students. Instead we would like to encourage a school-home balance similar to a work-life balance, where families are encouraged to engage in activities that they feel are best for their children. Teachers are more than happy to talk with parents about the kind of activities that would be of most benefit to their children.
