Question

Please can you give me any useful information about homeschooling australia?

Answer 1

A really great social networking site for Aussie Homeschoolers is http://www.rockpoolhomeschool.org. You could try asking homeschoolers there.

Answer 2

Well, what is it you want to know?!?

Anyway, in the absence of any more precise details of what it is you're looking for r.e. information about home-education (the local term for 'homeschooling') here's some links to get you going with information etc.

For general/nationwide info and resources:

http://www.hea.asn

http://www.education.gov.au/goved/search...

http://www.muslimhomeschool.net/   Don't worry if you're not Muslim; there is still heaps of interesting and useful info on this site. IMO, this is one of the best home-ed sites in Oz.

I'm 15 and, along with all my siblings, have been home-educated all my life; so feel free to let me know if there's anything specific on which you want to find info, resources, contacts etc.

In fact, as pastoralists, my family's experience of 'homeschooling' in Australia goes right back to my great grandparents' schooldays in 1901!
