Homework 

Homework bridges the gap between learning at school and learning at home. It strengthens home-school links and reaffirms the role of parents and carers as partners in education. Consideration in the homework policy (PDF 109KB) is given to the key elements of quality, manageability and communication. 

Student leadership

Through the promotion of students as leaders at Artarmon Public School, students of all ages are encouraged to accept leadership roles within their own class, within sporting houses and within the school. Please download the leadership procedures (PDF 198KB).

Student wellbeing
