Principles and

All homework comes with precise objectives and clear contents
All homework should complement the progress of classroom teaching
Following the school-based homework adjustment policy, homework adjustment is provided for students having special educational needs
The daily homework load is appropriate and complies with the suggested daily homework time put forward by the Education Bureau
Teachers would coordinate amongst themselves so that homework is not excessively assigned on the same day or before the holidays

When homework is assigned, our teachers would provide proper guidance to students so that they could complete them smoothly
Students should note down all their assignments with the student handbook for parents’ daily inspection and sign off
Parents should provide guidance to their children so that homework is carefully completed in a timely manner
Students who fail to hand in their homework would have the missed submission marked in the student’s handbook. Parents should remind students to resubmit the missed assignments the next day
If a student fails to submit his / her homework repeatedly, our teachers would talk to the parents to understand what caused the problem and provide necessary assistance and guidance so that students could complete their missed assignments
Common and repeated mistakes made by students will be discussed and commented on in class by teachers. Corrections made will be followed up too
The school reviews its homework policy regularly; it also provides suitable assistance to students when help is needed

The school would explain to parents clearly about the types and requirements of homework at the Briefing for P1 Parents
The school would collect parents’ opinions at the Parents’ Meeting or through surveys and then evaluate the collected information
A homework helper’s class for P1 students runs at the beginning of the school year, such that students who require additional assistance could complete their homework at school under the guidance of teachers
