Beaumaris Secondary College expects students to further develop and consolidate their independent learning skills by completing home learning (homework) tasks. Home learning has a positive effect on learning and is an important part of reinforcing the concepts introduced in class. It also plays a significant role in building work habits, self-regulation and responsibility.
Home learning tasks may include daily independent reading, deeper learning tasks, projects, essays, actions, and research. Some tasks may be assigned to be completed during weekends and on the school holidays.

Home Learning is a shared responsibility between the school, teachers, students and their parents/carers. This shared responsibility contributes to the overall success and development of our students.
