  videos on. Anyone with a non-recognizable name and with the video turned off will be removed from
  the classroom.

Homework
Parents are requested to ensure that homework is done regularly by the students. By ‘Homework’ the
school refers to the academic follow-up that takes place at home and not necessarily just written work. At
the Primary School level, student’s time out of school should be their own time in which they pursue their
own interests, hobbies and play. Often students are tired from the intensive teaching they have had during the day. Therefore, Hope Academy does not set excessive homework. However, at the Secondary level students are expected to submit their completed homework / worksheets on scheduled dates itself.
