Homework Centres

Homework Centres are set up under the Aboriginal Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ATAS) to provide the facilities and supervision needed for Indigenous school students to complete homework and school assignments, where these are not available in the students’ homes.

Wherever possible, Homework Centres operate on school premises.

During 2001 Homework Centres operated in the following places:

  • Burnie
  • Penguin
  • Sheffield
  • Launceston: Northern suburbs, Southern suburbs
  • Exeter
  • Georgetown
  • Bridgewater
  • New Norfolk
  • Glenora
  • Kingston
  • Margate
  • Dover
  • Sorell. 

In 2002 it is expected that all of these Homework Centres will operate with the addition of:

  • Smithton
  • Wynyard
  • Ulverstone
  • Devonport
  • Lilydale
  • Rocherlea
  • Rokeby.
