An Introduction to Home Education in New Zealand by Craig Smith – Updated

What does it cost, what are the legal issues, a bit about socialisation, can they get into University or the workplace after being home educated? What do the experts say? Was anyone of note ever educated at home? (On that last one, how about Wolfgang Mozart, Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Agatha Christie, Charlie Chaplin, Andrew Carnegie, Ben Franklin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt…and NZs own inventor of the jet boat, C.W.F. Hamilton.)

A5, 20 pages. NZD$5.00.

Dr Jay Wile (Apologia Science) to visit NZ next June

Posted on by

From the LearnEX Christmas newsletter:

Well that hardly needs any explanation does it? Dr Wile was such a popular speaker last time that we were rather surprised when he asked if we would host him again. “Yes” we said! “Yes! Yes! Yes!” Further details to come but start putting a few $ away for early June next year as he will be well worth it.

THE 11th ANNUAL HOME EDUCATION CELEBRATION

‘Unity in the Community’

IS RETURNING TO CORNWALL PARK!!!!!!

THURSDAY 3 FEBRUARY 2011 from 10.30am

Log it in the diary now for your family, friends, and supporters!

This date has special significance – schoolchildren will be starting back for Term 1 during that week and we’ll be celebrating our lifestyle in style.  It’s a great chance to kick off the year by bringing families together from across the whole Auckland region, meeting others from outside your own smaller area. In the past, we’ve also welcomed families from Whangarei, Coromandel, Waikato and Tauranga so non-Aucklanders are very welcome, too!

Although based on a BYO picnic, activities and workshops are also being planned by the main organising team as I write.  I know they’d love a few more hands to make light work of bringing together a successful event for the whole community..

HSLDA e-lert service:

Homeschooling: An International Perspective

Friday, November 12—“Homeschooling: An International Perspective”

American homeschoolers enjoy a freedom that many around the world only dream about. If you’d like to know what homeschoolers in other parts of the world are facing, or if you’ve ever wondered whether you could impact international homeschoolers, keep reading! HSLDA is excited to present its first-ever international e-vent.

Although this e-vent is free of charge, a suggested donation of $25 to the Home School Foundation’s International Fund is greatly encouraged! Be a blessing to persecuted homeschoolers in other countries by visiting the Home School Foundation website and helping to spread homeschool freedom around the world.

On Friday, November 12 @ 2:00 p.m. (ET), HSLDA Director of International Affairs Mike Donnelly will lead a panel discussion on international homeschooling. Join him as he chats with an impressive array of international homeschool leaders. His panel will include Dave Tucker from El Hogar Educador in Mexico; Gabriel Curcubet, president of the Romanian Home Schooling Association; Leendert van Oostrum, president of the Pestalozzi Trust Legal Defence Fund in South Africa; and Uwe Romeike, a German homeschool father whose family is fighting for political asylum in the United States.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from homeschool leaders across the globe!

Even if you can’t attend the live event, a recording will be available for viewing in the e-vent Archives for up to 30 days. Don’t let your schedule get in the way of this important event.

Register now and enjoy the event at your convenience!
