Applying for an Exemption to Home School in New Zealand

Applying for an Exemption to Home School

in New Zealand

Here are two very helpful  links


The first is a cut down version of the exemption application, showing you exactly which comments the Ministry of Education (MoE) expects you to reply to:

https://hef.org.nz/2010/making-an-application-for-exemption-from-enrolment-and-attendance-at-a-school/

The second is a lengthy letter giving all kinds of tips on how to answer the comments:

https://hef.org.nz/2010/a-collection-of-exemption-tips-and-ideas/

I’d suggest reading those two, having a go at answering the questions, then contacting some-one on this list: https://hef.org.nz/2011/needing-help-for-your-home-schooling-journey-2/

It seems complicated at first, but it really isn’t that bad at all.
