TUISWERKBELEID
Tuiswerk bestaan uit hersiening en konsolidasie van werk wat reeds in die klaskamer behandel is.
Die doel van tuiswerk is:
• om oefening te bied in die versterking van die nodige vaardighede;
• om onafhanklike studie gewoontes, verantwoordelikheid en selfmotivering aan te kweek en te ontwikkel;
• om die skoolondervinding uit te brei;
• om die kind te leer om sy/haar tyd te bestuur;
• om die kind in aanraking te bring met buiteskoolse inligtingsbronne.
