Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Why doesn't my child have much homework?
Cathcart's homework policy is that students have 10 minutes of homework per grade. That means that in grade 3, the students have 30 minutes of homework. Between reading 20 minutes a night, practising spelling words or finishing work done in class, the students have around that much each night. I would also like the students to take advantage of the extra-curricular activities. available.Back to Top
