Homework Centre

Dear Parents,

 

After collating data collected from student and staff surveys, we are pleased to announce that the new and improved  Homework Centre will reopen on Wednesday 14th August

(week 5 term 3).

 

WHERE:        Umina Campus Library

WHEN:           3pm- 4pm

 

The purpose of The Homework Centre has expanded to:

  • Allow students access to library resources including reference books, computers and photocopying facilities. (note: charges apply for photocopying/printing)
  • Offer a quiet place to do revision or complete homework & assignments
  • Provide motivation and focus to meet deadlines
  • Encourage peer tutoring
  • Offer students general assistance
  • Small group tutoring in a subject area (check website for subjects on offer)

 

Thanks to the dedicated staff at Umina Campus, we are delighted to be offering this resource for students free of charge. We hope that more and more students choose to come each week to improve their learning outcomes! Students do NOT have to commit to attending EVERY week! The flexibility of The Homework Centre allows students to attend during those ‘busy' times in the term when assignments are due, tests are looming or there is a specific topic they are having trouble with.

 

How do students get involved?

  • Check the website for staff roster and Centre dates
  • Wait on the library steps until 3pm
  • Come prepared with homework/ assignments/ work books and necessary equipment
  • Register their name and study goal for the session with the Supervisor
  • Come ready to be productive!

 

Students wasting time, being disruptive or rude, will be asked to leave.

 

            Students will be provided with a light afternoon tea.

 

PARENTS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!  We would appreciate your support with this valuable program. If you would like to volunteer your time to assist with supervision, please contact Sheree Gilchrist (Head Teacher Teaching & Learning) on 43419066

or email:   sheree.gilchrist@det.nsw.edu.au

(Even if you can only help out once a term, every little bit helps!)

 

Yours sincerely
