Each subject may set up to 75% of allocated curriculum time weekly.
Assignments may not always be written. Research, learning, revision and completion of projects may also be set as homework. Parents should inform the teacher if an assignment has taken markedly longer than the stipulated time.
Parents are encouraged both to monitor their son/daughter and to ensure that they have a quiet place to work without distractions.
