Assignments are given on a regular basis. Students are expected to complete and return assignments on the due date. Students are also expected to find out what homework they have missed due to absence. Strengths and weaknesses of the assignments are conveyed to the students. Students are expected to do between one and two and a-half hours of homework/studying each evening. If no written work is assigned, study time should be spent reviewing or doing extra reading. Parents’ and guardians’ responsibilities include scheduling a routine time for homework to be completed, providing a suitable environment for study, and ensuring that their child completes their assignments.

There is a three-day blackout period before the Mid-Year exams, a two-day blackout after the December/January holiday period and after the March break, and a five-day blackout period before the June exams. Teachers may not schedule evaluations requiring preparation at home during these blackout periods. Teachers may assign work for marks to be done in class during these periods, and evaluations not requiring preparation at home. Students absent for evaluations scheduled before blackout may be required to write those evaluations during blackout.
