Welcome to our Schoolwork Page! This page will be updated regularly. Please check this page regularly to ensure school assignments are completed on time and to the best of your ability. The agenda should be your main tool for recording assignments and due dates. Assignments listed as “Overdue” below simply means the assignment should be complete. It does not mean your child has completed it though. Please do your best to check in with your child to ensure all school work is completed on time.

Parents, this blog page is also for your reference, so you are aware of what your child should be working on throughout the term. Please help your child prioritize their schoolwork, so they can work on assignments gradually in order to demonstrate their full potential and be successful.
