Home Learning at St Andrews

Home Learning at St Andrews is designed to support the College's Learning Framework. The driving force within the dynamic system of the Learning Framework is effective feedback, acknowledging that learning gains for students are optimised when teachers can provide regular feedback that effectively guides future learning and, hence, ongoing learning improvements.

An essential element of the overall Learning Framework is acknowledging the role Home Learning plays in facilitating continual improvement in student learning. Establishing clear, consistent expectations that reflect the high standards set in all of the academic programs offered by the College is an important part of helping our students recognise what is required to generate and sustain successful learning habits.

Our Home Learning guidelines seek to increase the total amount of time students engage in the subject-specific content covered in each course and create further opportunity for teachers to provide meaningful, effective feedback and feedforward for their students to support overall learning progression for every student. Helping our students adopt and maintain a regular schedule of Home Learning assists both the student and their families to develop consistent, predictable routines which form positive learning habits and enhance academic progress.
