Oz Green Day FYI « Result #1 on Aug 18, 2010, 3:35pm »
Hi I recieved an email about thistoday via the website. If anyone is interested in this they can contavt the guy if they want to.

Hello Michelle,
I was wondering if you knew of any contacts for homeschoolers in the Upper Hunter.
I am from a not-for-profit organisation called OzGREEN and we will be offering for the second year a river assessment program called MYRiveR Hunter aimed for youth from about the ages of 9 years (there are no costs involved). This will be run from 1-9 November 2010 and involve a day in the field doing water quality and biodiversity assessments on the hunter river, followed by community forum in Muswellbrook ran by the students.
I am wanting to send out some invites to homeschoolers in the area with details of the program, and am happy to send these details to you if you are interested.
I was interested in dis-covering the homeschooling network in the lower hunter and am inspired by the number of people involved. I am just starting out with homeschooling here in Bellingen NSW.

Re: Full Free Curriculum K-5th grade « Result #2 on Aug 12, 2010, 8:43am »
Hi,
I came across another FREE ONLINE CURRICULUM called HEAD OF THE CLASS http//:www.theheadoftheclass.com/SplashPage/SplashPage.aspx
It is different to Lesson Pathways as it has all the resources needed on the one site where Lesson Pathways uses sites ,info & resources from all over the place.
We had a go at the 3rd grade Maths and it was good.
FREE, FREE, FREE!!!
We will stick with what we are doing but I thought it might be helpful to someone looking for something.

Secular Home Ed group details and link « Result #3 on Aug 10, 2010, 6:09pm »
Hi Everyone, Some of you know I started a group where home educators could meet up and discuss a common 'secular or non-religious perspective' to their homeschooling journey. We've been meeting up on the third Friday of each month and have had a very social and successful year of getting to know each other, new people and generally hanging out with our children. Here is the introduction from our yahoo group page and the link to find it if you wish to join in.
Welcome! This is a secular yahoo group for home educators in the Lake Macquarie & Hunter regions of, NSW Australia. We discuss home education from a secular perspective & all other home educating matters. Our group also meets once a month every 3rd Friday alternating between Maitland & Speers Point parks from 10am to 1pm, check the calendar.
We are a non-religious group NOT an anti-religious group. Our only aim is to provide an opportunity for parents who are home educating their children to come together without the unnecessary worry of having to discuss their personal religious or non-religious thoughts. This is not & never will be a place for religious, agnostic or atheist bullying or ranting. We are all linked together in our choice to home educate. We also help people new to home education.
To join please state why you wish to & give a short introduction of yourself. It will be published after your membership is approved. New members are moderated initially.
If religion is discussed it is as a subject no different than geography or mathematics. This is not an atheist or agnostic group that argues against religion or a religious group. It is merely a NON-RELIGIOUS Home Educating group, started by like minded parents with varied backgrounds who didn’t want themselves or their children subjected to proselytism. People who are practising an evangelical religion & proselytise may join but can NOT attempt to convert/witness etc our members. You are joining a NON- religious home educating group.
Rules: • Any offensive comments, attempts of conversion directed against religious or non-religious people will be viewed as a direct violation of the community feeling we are here to construct. • No exclusion tactics, persecution, judgmental blanket statements or direct rudeness here or at any event advertised here will be tolerated & any member who does, to any other member on the basis of religion/non-religion will have their membership cancelled/refused.
FEBRUARY/APRIL/JUNE/AUGUST/OCTOBER/DECEMBER we will meet at MAITLAND PARK at the tables behind the flying fox.
MARCH/MAY/JULY/SEPTEMBER/NOVEMBER we will meet at SPEERS POINT PARK near the BBQ area inside the children's playground.
please note that we will not be meeting on Friday 20th August 2010 as it clashes with the Worm Farm excursion, instead many people are attending the excursion and/or meeting up at Speers Point park for the general get together/lunch/picnic.

It looks pretty miserable, so we're going to stay in for sure... (She was horrified to find out that homeschoolers help out around the house with the housework, and usually before they start schoolwork! Thankfully I have a backup, hubby was a homeschooler!)
Re: From application to approved « Result #5 on Aug 10, 2010, 9:52am »
Hi Danni,
It doesn't look like the weather will be great for Maitland Park today, but if you still want to come, perhaps you could text me before you come, on the number I gave you last night, and I'll tell you what the weather's like at Maitland. Kara can't give you a lift because one her daughters is sick today, and I haven't heard back from the other lady who I was hoping would be able to give you a lift, but will try again. Looking forward to meeting you soon if we don't see you today! How exciting - your daughter's first day of freedom!

Re: From application to approved « Result #6 on Aug 9, 2010, 7:41pm »
It's good to hear you've made the decision, you won't regret it. Personally, I found the decision making to be the hardest thing to do out of the whole process. Once we took that first step into the world of home schooling everything else seemed fairly easy and everyone who has been doing this for a long time is very helpful.
With Johnie, we told the school we wouldn't be returning after the last holidays and I lodged the application for home schooling the week before the holidays. We received a letter stating we would hear from someone to make an appointment which ended up being in the first week of officially homeschooling. Neil came for the visit during the beginning of the second week, so all up we only had to wait for 3 weeks before we were registered. As someone else mentioned the worst that can happen is he'll give you 6 mths registration but don't worry, he seemed quite helpful so if you aren't sure of anything; just ask him questions. He'll probably start the interview with asking you why you have decided to home school then will want to know things like: How you plan to teach your child and how you will 'test' your child, things of this nature. I don't know much about completely 'natural learning' so I can't comment on how it's done as we use natural learning with a structured form of learning from exel books and lessons off the internet, (that works for us at this point in time) but I'm sure you'll do fine in the interview even though it's only early days.
Good luck and I look forward to meeting you some time.

I think its going to be a very ceremonious trip to the post office tomorrow morning! Thankyou all for giving me the information I desperately needed (instead of chewing my hands off with indecision) I cant wait to catch up with you all and meet you all in person!!!
Re: From application to approved « Result #8 on Aug 9, 2010, 6:16pm »
Hi Nin,
Please pull your daughter out of school! So long as you've contacted the BOS and advised them that you are now home educating and want to apply for registration, the ball is then in their court. It's up to them to then provide an appointment with an "Approved Person" (AP) to process your application. In the meantime, as the parent, it is well within your rights under the Education Act to educate your child at home (under the Act, it is the parent's duty to educate the child; the government's responsibility is to provide schooling and oversee registration of home educators etc).
When I first pulled my children out of schoo, I simply advised the school that we would be home educating from now on. I then contact the BOS to arrange registration. I did receive one phone call from someone (I think it was the truancy people - I was out and my husband took the call). My husband advised them that I was actually doing a "home educators training course" that day (which I was!) and had already made contact with the Board of Studies and was following things up with them.
I never heard back from anyone and we're still happily home educating almost 5 years later!
For what it's worth, the HEA (Home Education Association - not government, but a group of home educating families) run a course for new home educators and the lady who runs it would happily come up here to do it if there was enough interest (she's a friend of mine and I can convince her to come LOL ). The HEA also provide an "emergency pack" for people who need to register in a hurry. It provides everything you'd need to help you get throught the registation process.
You can check it all out at the HEA website: www.hea.asn.au
Good luck and we look forward to meeting you soon!
Feel free to messag me privately to let me know where you live. I'm not too far from the ferry on the Newy side and have a daughter who's similarly aged to yours. There are home ed families all over the place, and people are often prepared to help out with lifts to events. If you contact me, I may be able to help you out or put you in touch with someone who can.

Re: From application to approved « Result #9 on Aug 9, 2010, 6:13pm »
Hi nin, It took about 4 weeks from application to the interview for us. We were told then and there that we were approved and everything was in motion.
Once we had decided to hs and put in the application we went on a 2 week family vacation and then he had a sick week. He was back at school for 2 days when we had our interview and notified the school that same afternoon. So all up our child was out of school for 3 1/2 weeks before we were approved. I think if your lovely little girl is experienceing anxiety amongst other things I would take her out and have a break. She's only 6 and she wont miss anything. What ever you feel comfortable doing though, you know your child best. Look forward to meeting you sometime.

Thanks Kerrie!! We put our names down for the Zoo night, and I definitely am going to get out there for a few other days like the natural learners picnic (we're logistically challenged at the moment as our car decided that it didnt really need 2 cylinders out of 4! What a week!!)
There is alot of resource on how to go about homeschooling, but not alot on making the big decision, this is where id be lost without you guys and my family!!!
Re: From application to approved « Result #12 on Aug 9, 2010, 2:48pm »
Hi Nin,
Welcome to the group. I think they say it can take 3 months from application to approval - but then sometimes it will only take weeks.
I've never been in your situation, but if school is affecting her that much - don't wait. Pull her out now. Others will be able to chime in with their experience, but I'd just tell the principal you're going to home educate, and pull her out. Or go on extended sick leave maybe?
Nothing is worth that level of anxiety for your child!
Oh and meant to say, the current board of education assessor is very good and will work with you. Ask lots of questions on here to get a feel for what you can do, come along to our activities and ask more questions and have a rough plan of how you intend to educate her. At worst I think he will give 6 months approval rather than 2 years, and that will give you time to settle in. He basically just wants to know that you have some plan in place for what you are going to do and its just not that you can't be bothered sending her to school!
From application to approved « Result #13 on Aug 9, 2010, 2:13pm »
How long did it take you guys?
We're having more problems with anxiety, and miss 6's anxiety levels are through the roof.. She fainted while getting ready for school today, plus other issues that I just have had enough of!
Do I need to keep sending her while I wait for our application to be processed/have our interview)
Also
Do i need to be completely prepared for the interview, or will he be understanding that its our first year and we might not be so well equipped as we could be?

Re: Social Day this Friday? « Result #17 on Aug 3, 2010, 5:28pm »
Yep, It looks like the all-in once-a-term Social Day on the first Friday of each term is a go-er. Let's go ahead with the following:
Friday 15th October, from 10.30am Maitland Park Off Les Darcy Drive, Maitland BYO Picnic lunch etc There is a fantastic fenced-in playground area with liberty swing, sensory garden, flying fox, trees to climb, small rock wall and other playground equipment. There's also a concrete bicycle area with pretend traffic lights, parking bays, give way signs, a roundabout, pedestrian crossing and petrol station.
Guess I'd better post it in its own thread too. I'll also put it in the HEA online directory.

Hi Renelle, I'm not sure if this classifies as the best gift ever, but I bought a little metal clothes line for Grace when she was 2 or three and it was well used. With our 2 moves though we lost bits to it and have missed not having it. I am actually going to buy another one as a gift for either Sarah or Esther, you can also get little laundry trolleys with baskets. Maitland Toyworld have the clotheslines in stock but I'm not sure about the trolleys. Peters of Kensington also sell them online. Hope this helps Yvette

I'm interested in an all in meeting at the beginning of each term too. We're heading to the foreshore to meet up with the Natural Learners this Friday, plus the other Southern visitors that are coming up! Should be a good day!
The Secular group meets the third Friday of each month alternating between Maitland and Speers Point. This month we'll be meeting at Maitland park, 20th August from 10am onwards.

Yes, the first Friday of each term sounds great, I like things to be easy to remember! I think if sub-groups clashes they can merge. Those venues look fine.
Re: Social Day this Friday? « Result #29 on Aug 2, 2010, 6:58pm »
So.......... Let's do a big all-in social day on the first week of every term!
That leaves the rest of the term free for other activities, excursions etc. And the fact that it'd only be once a term means lots of people would probably make a big effort to go, which would be awesome! A great way to catch up with all sorts of people, plus for newbies to meet a variety of people.
I've posted this in the event planning thread because it's still an idea that it'd be good to have feedback on. If the general majority think it's a good idea we'll go ahead with it.
The questions are:
WHEN? Are people happy with the idea of having it on the first Friday of each term? The potential problem would be that some terms it might clash with either Natural Learners (they normally meet on the 1st Friday of each month) or the Secular Group (I think they meet on the 2nd Friday??). Those groups could either decide to change to a different day as their regular meet-up, or just as a one off, or else they could just join up with the bigger group if both events ever occur on the same date.
The idea of Friday for the all-in-picnic is that is wouldn't clash with any regular weekly activities.
WHERE? Should we vary the location? Perhaps: Term 1 - The Foreshore, Newcastle Term 2 - Speers Point Park Term 3 - Blackbutt?? Term 4 - Maitland Park? Or have it at the same location each term for simplicity of communication? Eg. Perhaps Speers Point Park, because of the convenience of the large grassed area inside the fence?

I agree, and found it hard to buy for Jas (5) this year because she's so content with what she has, and already has too much 'stuff'! In the end she received several smaller things, including a mosaic sticker kit and 'makeup' (lipbalm and handcream etc), and she spent money she received from relatives on a new bike.
One of my children's favourite gifts at ages 3.5 and 4.5 was a hand-decorated box full of craft supplies ... paper shape punches, fancy-cut scissors, all kinds of paper, pre-cut corrugated cardboard shapes, foam stickers of letters, animals, vehicles etc, glue sticks, glitter glue, rulers, textas, watercolour paints ... all things they could use to make collages, cards and generally a big, fun mess! Perhaps a personalised dustpan and brush would go well with that ... my kids loved (and still like) using the adjustable-handle broom to clean up after themselves.
Or if you don't have them, any of these ... swings, scooter, dolls pram, bike, trampoline, hula hoop, totem tennis, apron, chalkboard/ magnetic whiteboard art easel, playdough tools, dolls car ...
I'll look forward to hearing what you choose, Renelle, you have great taste! Vanessa

Hi, I've used it this week and the more I use it the more I like it. It has so much more in it than I first thought too. I think it's a bit of a Gold Mine for those looking for a fully planned and flexible curriculum. I love the planner because I can pick and choose things to suit what we are doing or plan a whole year at the touch of a button. And being able to check off and print out for reporting purposes is fantastic, saves alot of work. Hope you enjoy it! Take care Renelle

Karate: Expression of interest... « Result #38 on Jul 29, 2010, 4:42pm »
Hi Group.
Obviously being new to home schooling, I have never 'tried' to organise anything as yet.
My son went down to Karate at Wyoming today and really 'loved' it; so much so he wants to go more often. The one that the CC Group have organised is only on every two weeks so I'd like to know if the Hunter Group are interested in Karate at Cessnock every week?
I'm not going to go ahead with asking for prices and whatnot until I know if there is enough interest to warrant having our own class during the day. If your child would like this as a regular sport please let me know what day/ and time/s will suit so that I can get an idea before I ring.
If there is no interest I'll enrol Johnie in the one they have at night; so it's no biggie if you guys aren't interested.

Neil has been and gone! « Result #44 on Jul 27, 2010, 6:11pm »
Hi Group,
Well as a lot of home school Mum's told me; he was lovely so I should not have stressed as much as I did.
We've been given 2 yrs which is fantastic. He was happy with everything I provided and seemed pleased with the lessons Johnie has been doing. He met Johnie (briefly); just enough time to ask how he was and what he thought about home school (What kid wouldn't aswer; fun/good).
So for those of you who haven't had an interview with Neil yet; please don't stress. He is easy going. He did ask us why we are choosing to homeschool which was no biggie... Other than that, he wanted to see what we've been doing and the plan/s I had as regards to what I'll be teaching in the coming terms and how I am going to go about assessing Johnie.

Re: Home School Sports Carnival « Result #50 on Jul 26, 2010, 7:11pm »
We used to go to the home ed sports carnivals when we were living in Sydney. This sounds pretty similar, and to be honest, my kids didn't overly love it. It's not a traditional sports carnival like we used to do here; it's more like a circuit, where kids move around from activity to activity, and a lot of them were more novelty type events. Just sayin' . Some kids would probably love it; but if you're expecting it to be like what we used to do here, it might be a disappointment, especially considering the travel involved. Although it does say javelin and 50/100m sprints etc.
Just saying what our experience was; this might be different and would be absolutely perfect for some kids anyway. It was just a surprise to mine, because it wasn't what we'd expected.
What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn't a school at all. John Holt
