Homework Club. Following consultation with parents it was decided to form a Homework in Vicarstown. The Homework Club was launched this week. It allows children the option of supervised time in school where they are provided with a quiet and suitable atmosphere in which to spend time at their homework free from distractions. Both parents and pupils have given very positive feedback after the first week of this initiative.
