Homework Policy
Ignatian pedagogy views education as a life long process where a school strives to
give students the capacity and desire to become self directed learners. Within this
context Gonzaga College offers an academically distinguished curriculum that challenges
students to achieve their full potential. A significant aspect of responding to
this challenge is the setting and doing of homework.
Regular study at home is an integral part of a pupil’s education. Homework is one
component of this study at home. This is directed and assessed by the class teacher.
It may take a variety of forms, written exercises, research, course work, reading,
memorisation of material and preparation for classes. The other equally important
component of study at home is designed and directed by the student himself. This
is the ongoing review and consolidation of information and skills arising from class
work. It is essential that students should have frequent and increasing opportunities
to develop and strengthen their competence as independent learners.
