More than 1600 students have registered to attend homework centres this coming term.
That number is across 120 schools throughout the state, and includes a number of Logan schools.
The homework centre idea is costing $8 million.
Education Minister Grace Grace said centres meant students and parents wouldn’t have homework hanging over their head and their home time is just that – home time.
She said the way the centres run varied from school to school.
“The exact operating hours of a Homework Centre will be determined by each school based on the needs of families in the school community, and each school will plan their sessions to ensure they are appropriate for the age, learning and development needs of the children attending,” she said.
“Key features of the initiative are that the program is available to students free of charge, a healthy snack is provided and participation is entirely voluntary.”
