Homework

The purpose of doing Homework

At Kommetjie Primary, we believe that homework reinforces and consolidates the work done in class. Not only does it develop responsibility and good learning habits, but also provides quality structured time between learners/parents and care-givers. Our sports policy can be found on the Policy Page of our website.
