In Episode 17 we tackle a question every student, parent and teacher has asked at some point: what is the point of homework?Harisha brings a senior-student perspective on workload, independence and university preparation, while Year 7’s Lianna explains how homework feels when you’re just getting used to secondary school. Head of Secondary and Vice-Principal Mr. O’Brien explains the school’s approach to homework — its purpose, how it supports learning, and the balance the leadership team aims for between practice and wellbeing.
Expect a thoughtful, practical conversation that looks at routine, feedback, and tips for making homework more useful (and less stressful).
We also celebrate community: the episode captures highlights from Britannica’s Chinese New Year festivities — student performances, cultural activities, and the ways the celebration deepens students’ understanding of Chinese traditions and shared identity. The result is a lively episode that blends policy, pupil voice and school life: principled insight from senior leadership, honest student experience across age groups, and colourful festival moments that show the school’s spirit.
The featured interview is with Miss Liu, Britannica Shanghai's Deputy Head of Mandarin Studies.
