Homework

Homework can be a challenge for both children and parents alike. Your child's teachers will be the best point of call for any learning queries, as they are full of innovative ideas that will relate specifically to your child's learning. Some CCGPS schools also offer homework clubs to assist children and their parents.

We have, however, included a series of resources that may support you and your child when faced with those tough questions or queries at home.

School A to Z

School A to Z is a website produced by the NSW Department of Education and Communities dedicated to helping the parents of school-aged children. It provides a wealth of resources for parents wanting to assist with learning at home.

Here are a few useful links from the site:

School A to Z is also available as a free app that can be accessed through the iTunes Store.
