Guidelines for Homework Assignments
At Brierfield National School, we believe that a consistent homework routine is essential for reinforcing classroom learning. Students are expected to complete assignments on time and to the best of their ability. Homework is designed to be manageable and relevant, supporting the curriculum and enhancing student understanding. Parents are encouraged to provide a supportive environment for homework completion and to communicate with teachers if any issues arise.
Homework assignments vary by grade level, with younger students focusing on foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, while older students engage in more comprehensive tasks that promote critical thinking and independent learning. Regular feedback will be provided to students to help them improve and succeed. We aim to foster responsibility and time management skills through our homework policy.
Promoting Healthy Eating
Healthy Eating Policy
At Brierfield National School, we are committed to promoting healthy eating habits among our students. Our policy encourages balanced, nutritious meals that support students’ physical and cognitive development. We ask that parents provide healthy snacks and lunches, avoiding sugary drinks and snacks high in fat or salt. The school occasionally organizes workshops and activities to educate students about the benefits of healthy eating.
We also encourage students to stay hydrated by bringing water bottles to school. Our canteen offers a variety of healthy options, and we strive to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies. By working together, we can ensure that our students develop lifelong healthy eating habits that contribute to their overall well-being.
