Parent Homework<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Year 12 students participated in a study skills session with Dr Prue Salter this week. During her presentation, Dr Salter showed a slide and asked students to reflect on their homework and study habits at home.<\/p>\n

At that point, there was a lot of chatter.<\/p>\n

Nervous<\/em> chatter.<\/p>\n

In follow up conversations with students, I understand that it indicated that many Year 12s were not investing enough time each night in private study and homework.<\/p>\n

So I am asking all parents and carers to undertake an audit of their daughter’s time spent on homework and private study activities over the next fortnight.<\/p>\n

Here are the guidelines:<\/p>\n

\n

Year 7 & 8<\/strong> – around 1hr 30mins per night<\/p>\n

Year 9 & 10<\/strong> – around 2hrs 30mins per night<\/p>\n

Year 11<\/strong> – around 3hrs per night (plus more on weekends)<\/p>\n

Year 12<\/strong> – around 3-4hrs per night (plus more on weekends)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If your daughter is not reaching these timeframes, there are many resources to assist in the ELES Study Skills Handbook<\/em> published by Dr Prue Salter. The handbook can be accessed via COMPASS using the Favourites (the star) icon.<\/p>\n
