Homework centre
A key to success is being organised
Homework is often a revision of what is covered in class, review and practise tasks covered in class, summarise key ideas and do additional reading and research on topics.
In high school, regular study becomes important.
Our school runs a homework centre on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons in the school library. Homework centre is a great opportunity for students to receive help with homework and/or assessments on a one-on-one basis.
Homework centre is available to our students to:
-
provide access to computers, the Internet, printer and scanner
-
provide access to books, encyclopedias, magazines, and other quality texts
-
gain assistance from teachers on the completion of homework and assignments, develop study skills, and improve their research techniques
-
provide a quiet environment for school or recreational reading.

Suggestions for effective studies
There is no one ‘best’ way to study. Students often find different methods and times to study to suit themselves. The key is regular study, not cramming before a test or exam.
Some suggestions for effective study time include:
- no mobile device use – no social media, messaging or calls during study time
- finish any homework for the day before starting study – remember they are separate
- focus on one topic at a time
- highlight class notes or handouts
- prepare summaries in your own words to revise concepts and skills learnt in class
- draw diagrams, mind maps or brainstorms to show the main ideas and links between them
- explain a topic or key concept to someone else
- prepare glossaries of technical language for the topic or course, include examples of appropriate use
- memorise short quotes
- read summaries aloud – you can record yourself and play them back
- write key concepts on flash cards with an explanation on the back to use for quick recall testing
- read widely about topics being studied and add any new information or quotes to your summary (remember, when you use words or passages from a source such as a book, article or website you must reference them and use quotation marks).
