Homework Club

Homework Club

Homework Club currently operates from two schools, Sarah Redfern High School and Sarah Redfern Public School. The High School also caters for students from Campbellfield Public School, Minto Primary School and The Grange Primary School. Sadly, many children do not have suitable home environments in which to study. Many parents do not support their children to do homework. Through Homework Club we see the steady improvement of students' performance in the classroom. We have seen students move from the bottom of the class in terms of marks to the top as a direct result of attending Homework Club.

Students attend the Monday and Tuesday afternoons sessions where teachers and Daystar volunteers assist students with their homework.

 

"One of my students was suspended for four consecutive terms - mainly due to chair throwing and window smashing in class. Since his participation in Garden Club, his is into his third terms without a further suspension. Garden Club has been the single biggest influence in calming his behaviour."
