Homework diary
• At the start of the academic year all the children are given a school diary and a reading record book in which parents and teachers make any relevant comments.
• Pupils in Prep. 1 – Prep. 4 (Year 3 – 6) are required to note down their homework each day.
• Parents should check and sign diary on a daily basis and will often use it as a first point of contact about work or for general information.
• The diary is the responsibility of the pupil and should be brought to school each day.
