Homework is an important part of every child’s education, but finding time to help children get their homework done can be a challenge for busy families.

Homework Centres will provide a supervised and suitable learning environment in which students can complete their homework before they go home.

To ease the burden on families, the Queensland Government has Homework Centres in 120 state school sites across the state.
