| "Thank you... The information you supply is real and generous - fantastic reading. I am so inspired... Your honesty is rare. Most books do not really explain 'how' as well as you do." Tracy "I cannot seem to get enough of your writings on the whole home ed subject! You portray a lot of wisdom, knowledge and experience..." Marie "A fabulous source of information and inspiration. I am very pleased to have some of your titles on my bookshelf... providing me with wonderful, detailed information and resources." Faye |
"Every time I read your writing it feels like a pat on the shoulder, and that feels really good...Thanks!" Maaike

Sample Homeschool Learning Programs As homeschoolers we moved from a fairly structured, school-like learning environment at home where I devised learning programs and set up activities around themes and units of work I wanted my children to complete, to a more informal learning regime where our individual and family interests dominated and where the children learned skills and knowledge as required. Recording and planning allowed me to gradually build confidence that any kind of home educational experience works: it's not so much how we educate our children but that we, the parents, care enough and want to educate them. See below for a list of links for guidelines on how to apply and what to include in your curriculum for registration or exemption from attending school in each Australian state.
The Home Education Association of Australia has provided the following examples of homeschool learning programs on it's website and invite families to modify them for their own use:
Guides for Applications for Registration/Exemption for Homeschooling in Australia Homeschooling is legal in every state of Australia but the regulations and requirements vary. The links below will give you some idea of what is required and will help to familiase you with the terminology, etc, but the best way to approach this aspect of home education is to get together with homeschoolers in your area and find out about local conditions. You'll find a list of contacts on the Homeschool Australia website, as well as on the Home Education Association of Australia website.
After 20 years of being a contact and support person Beverley no longer takes phone call or email inquiries. Please join one of her yahoo groups if you want to know more about homeschooling or have a question.

Pioneering members of the home education movement in Australia, Beverley and Robin Paine are passionate advocates of true educational choice for families. They began homeschooling their children in 1986 and three years later started the South Australian Home Based Learners network.Beverley wrote Getting Started with Homeschooling in 1995-97 and since then continues to write books and booklets on home education. She balances spending time helping home educators with working in her garden and renovating her home, as well as continuing to build her collection of writing on a variety of homeschooling subjects. Beverley maintains an extensive collection of websites as well as several Yahoo groups supporting families teaching their children at home. In 2007 Beverley joined the HEA and became a committee member in 2008: she also edits and produce the HEA Newsletter, HEA magazine, Stepping Stones for Home Educators, annual Resource Directory and other HEA publications.
