Homework Centre

As a school, we are concerned that many students, for one reason or another, often fail to attempt or complete their homework. Others have difficulties completing homework to a high standard. Often

they encounter a difficulty and then give up. Homework, and the consolidation of work covered in class are essential factors for academic success for every student.

Randwick Girls’ High School homework centre aims to:

· provide access to all students with library resources after school hours under supervision.

· provide access to students who do not have computers and/or internet at home.

· provide guidance/opportunities to students who have difficulties completing homework at home.

The Centre is staffed by volunteer teachers and university students who are ex students from this school. Students have the opportunity to ask questions, gain help and more importantly, to have a scheduled time to sit and complete their homework.

And the best thing is the sessions are completely FREE.

The Centre operates on Thursday afternoons from 3.30pm to 5.00pm in the school Library.

Rolls are marked at every session. Students leaving before 4.30pm will need to bring a signed note to indicate leaving time. As school buses are not operating out of school hours, we advise parents to make alternative arrangements for students to get home.

Please complete the permission note form below before attending the homework centre.

Sport

Weekly sport is held each Wednesday afternoon and is a compulsory part of the school curriculum for all Year 7-10 students. A wide range of sporting activities are offered at the school and in nearby locations. Students are able to select a different sport every term.

All students are permitted to wear their Sports/PE uniform to school Wednesday.

Students must attend the school’s compulsory swimming, athletics and cross country carnivals. They also have the opportunity to participate in additional sporting activities such as NSW CHS knock-out competitions and area sport trials
