North Bay Policies

HOMEWORK

Homework will be given to pupils from first to sixth class. It will keep parents and guardians informed of what their child is doing in school and let them know how she/he is coping with the tasks. It enables the pupils to complete assignments, to do research and maximise the amount of oral work in which a child engages. In one-to one communication at home, talking , listening, reasoning and questioning can be enriching for the child. homework time should be made as enjoyable as possible for the child. If possible, time should be set aside for it where there are no distractions. Homework will be set Monday to Thursday. Parents are asked to encourage each child to take responsibility for completing and handing in homework to her/his teachers. We would urge parents to communicate any difficulties encountered with homework tasks-or special efforts made by your child-to his/her teacher.

CODE OF BEHAVIOUR

Discipline in the school is based on respect for oneself and for others. A code of behaviour has been drawn up in consultation with parents and is supplied to all at the beginning of the school year. It is intended that this code will be revised or added to as the school circumstances change.
