Study Resources

Home Study involves:

completing set homework
completing assessments & assignments
preparing for exams
reflecting on each day's work
regular consolidation, practise and revision
wide reading
Mathletics

Each student should be completing regular home study throughout the week.

As a guide:

Years 7 & 8 should undertake approximately 5-7 hours a week
Years 9 & 10 should undertake approximately 7-10 hours a week
Years 11 & 12 should undertake approximately 10-20 hours a week

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "NO HOMEWORK"!

Home Study involves more than simply what is due. It is important that students revise regularly. They should use their study time to revise the lessons of that day and create study notes. Regular wide reading is essential to develop comprehension skills.

It can be helpful to set a time when Home Study will take place. That way, everyone knows when it will start and finish. Hopefully procrastination will be avoided.

Using the given timetable:

Block out commitments, such as training, tutoring or music lessons.
Block out family commitments, such as dinner or baby sitting.
Fill in any things you regularly to do, such as TV shows or gaming with friends.
Choose 5 - 10 hours

TERM PLANNER

Sometimes it is easier to have things on one page. This way you can see how long you have before things are due and how many things are happening at the same time.

You can use this Term Planner to record assessment due dates and other events. This will make it easier to plan your time. It may be helpful to keep the Planner in a shared space, where it can be seen by the whole family, like the fridge or a family noticeboard. This will help with planning family events.
