Textbooks

 The College will purchase primary textbooks.  The cost of these texts is included in the term fees, which are invoiced at the beginning of each term.  As these texts will only be used as aids to the various class programs it may well be that not every page will be completed.

Homework

Homework is an important part of the learning process, revising and reinforcing schoolwork. 

Weekly homework for studies K-6 may include:

• Spelling words and exercises
• Mathematics (including mentals and tables practice)
• Reading (oral and silent) at least three times a week
• English tasks
• Completion of class work
• Reading contracts
• Science projects (Investigation, designing and making)
• HSIE assignments
• Surveys; and
• Other activities as set by individual teachers. 
  

Homework will increase throughout the grades.  Parents are asked to sign the work to indicate that they have been aware of the work and can add comments if they wish.  Most homework will be given on Mondays and handed in on Fridays.

When homework is not handed in on Friday students will be detained at lunchtime to complete their work.  Record of names will be kept and after three failures to complete homework a 'Homework Notification Letter' will be sent home to inform parents.  Parents will be contacted by telephone if further homework is missed. 

Primary Bible Studies & Spiritual Lessons

This syllabus has been created for the Primary Department, Christadelphian Heritage College Sydney.  It is designed to provide a structured two-year plan for teaching the knowledge and understanding, skills and values and attitudes associated with the Bible. 

The syllabus will cover the major events in the Bible.  The focus in the K-6 syllabus is on gaining knowledge and understanding of Biblical events, developing skills in acquiring information from the Bible and forming values and attitudes based on Godly principles.  Links will also be created with other Key Learning Areas. 

The aim of the Bible Syllabus K-6 is to strive to develop in students, the values and attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding that:

• Enable them to build their morality upon an understanding of Godly principles.
• Encourage them to strive for excellence in every facet of life.
• Enable them to make informed decisions about their spiritual lives in the future.
