COMMUNITY SERVICE @ Links

Community Service is an integral part of our School curriculum for students of Classes 9 - 11.

Students are required to complete 15 hours of Community Service each term with a recognized

organization, as specified in our Parent Handbook. Since we are now well into the Second Term, I am writing to urge you to arrange and register your

child’s Community Service with us. As a special concession for this year, all students will be

expected to complete the required annual 30 hours of community service between now and 15th

March 2017.

It is mandatory for all Class 9 – 11 students to complete the required 30 hours of Community

Service in order to be promoted in 2017. If Community Service is left too late, it will also be seen as

a possible obstacle to future A’ level applications.

Keep in mind that your child does not need to initially encounter the more difficult and morbid

side of Community Service; there are many opportunities available which are suited to each age

group and from which they will gain tremendously.

Students will need to present their Community service certificates to the school office in

November 2016 & March 2017 , so their reports & records can be appropriately updated.

Listed below are a number of organizations, approved by the school, which offer opportunities for

voluntary work and will provide verification of the same, on request.

Parents are encouraged to take the following steps:

1. Identify an organization that you would like to approach for a Community Service

Opportunity.

2. Contact them to find out details and requirements for the one next year.

3. We will provide a letter of introduction, if required by the organization.

4. Have your child start as soon as possible (preferably on weekends).

5. At the end of the Community Service, the organization must provide documentation

verifying the service.

6. When your child has completed his / her 30 hours of Community Service for the year, kindly

submit the certified copies of community service to the school office.

HOMEWORK POLICY

At Links we believe that homework is a part of the total instructional programme. Its purpose is to reinforce previous

learning, develop independent study skills and encourage parent involvement in the instructional process. Homework

should constitute an extension of the learning situation of the school day.

Purpose � To Provide Experience in independent study and to practice good study habits

� To accustom the student to budgeting time for homework in preparation for the time when

independent study becomes the main avenue to continued learning.

� To reinforce basic skills and concepts.

� To complete assignments not completed during class time.

� To complete projects or studies involving individual research.

� To strengthen home to school communication about student learning.

How much homework?

Students are expected to complete a reasonable amount of homework.

Classes 1-2 10-30 minutes per day




The above amounts are ‘averages’ and will vary depending on the progress made in class. Contact your child’s teacher

if the time spent on homework exceeds the guidelines on an on-going basis.

Homework Timetable

At the beginning of each term, a Homework timetable is devised by the Academic Head in order to establish a

balanced work load throughout the week.

Homework Diaries

All students will be issued homework diaries at the beginning of the school year in which they will list their daily

homework and any special instructions / notices.

A parent, on a daily basis, must sign this homework diary (not required from class 7 onwards).

This homework diary will also serve as an effective means of communication between parents and the teacher.

Parents are asked to support homework where it is given and to maintain open communication with staff, wherever

problems need to be discussed.

Failure To Complete Homework Satisfactorily

• Where a student has attempted homework but failed to complete it, the teacher may need to consider what

additional support the student needs to understand the tasks.

• Poorly presented homework or incomplete homework, due to insufficient effort or time put aside for studies, will be

addressed through discussion with the teacher.

• Where students continue to submit work indicating a lack of effort or work well below the standard of their

capabilities, then the teacher will treat the work in the same way as homework not done.

Homework Not Done/ Incomplete Class Work

Students will be written up in the behaviour log and appropriate disciplinary action taken. In addition they may be

made to complete incomplete homework / class work during after school detention.

• If a student does not submit his/her class-work/homework copies on time, their work will be checked and formatively

assessed once it has been received, but no marks will be allocated. Only absent students who have a genuine excuse

will be exempted.

• If a student scribbles, draws or writes irrelevant notes in his/her copies or assessment papers, marks will be deducted

and a comment made in their behaviour log.


HOMEWORK

Teachers We believe that TEACHER’S responsibilities are to:

• Give the student guidance in establishing standards of good study habits.

• Plan and assign relevant homework adapted to the learning needs of the student.

• Reserve for classroom instruction all new or very difficult work requiring teaching assistance.

• Provide timely, consistent, and understandable feedback to students about their homework

• Contact the parents when the student consistently does not complete homework assignments.

Parents We believe that PARENT’S responsibilities are to:

• Show an active interest in the homework to be done.

• Provide a suitable place for the student to do his/her homework.

• Adjust and manage the home environment to prevent interruptions and conflicting demands.

• Encourage the student to work and complete each homework assignment.

• Limit assistance with homework to guiding, aiding, reviewing, listening to reading and recitation and answering

specific questions.

• In addition to the reasonable amount of homework, ensure that the student reads daily, approximately 20

minutes to 1hour depending on Class.

• Contact the teacher if their child continually tells them they have no homework.

• Parents can best assist the process of learning by providing a consistent time and a quiet place for students to

complete their homework and by showing a positive interest in it.

Students We believe that STUDENT’S responsibilities are to:

• Complete the homework assigned.

• Return the homework to school and the teacher when asked to do so.

• Return books and material taken home.

• Seek help from the teacher when needed.

• Be accountable for his/her actions regarding completion of homework.

• Ensure that he/she studies material previously covered throughout the year both during homework times and in

addition to homework.

• Collect from the teacher any homework missed due to absence.

• Make up’ any low grades obtained in homework assignments.
