At Pirongia School our homework/homelearning policy states that homework will be kept to about 30 minutes a night for Year 7 & 8 students. Homelearning will include reading, spelling, number knowledge practice and/or revision, preparing for the next day and minimal research or project work. Of course this wiki and our school website is full of great activities that will suport and enhance the learning at school.

Reading Remember that you are expected to read to yourself or someone else at home every night for at least 20 minutes. If you are reading by yourself it is a good idea to talk about what you have read with others so you get a better understanding of what is happening in your text.
