• 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.
