“These conferences should have been compulsory!”

When Andrew Pudewa visited New Zealand in 2008, this is what one enthusiastic home educator had to say after she attended his conference in Palmerston North.

“These conferences in New Zealand should have been compulsory for all home educators in New Zealand to attend. I highly recommend them that much. Every one of his sessions was fantastic. Some made me want to do more of his courses so that I could find out a lot more.”

Taratahi Agriculture Training School

A note from Gwenda Smithies

I thought you might be interested in putting the following info out to NZ homeschoolers…

Last year we discovered Taratahi Agriculture Training School.  They offer distance learning courses in agriculture and their courses give you NCEA credits.  You can choose whether you want to do level 1, 2 or 3 courses.  Our son did sufficient level 3 credits (14 credits) to gain an entire subject for the purposes of University Entrance.  You don’t have to have done levels 1 and 2 before level 3.  Our son went straight to level 3 and the material was straightforward.

Taratahi post out all required materials and offer a wide range of agriculture areas to choose from  – for example you can study sheep breeding, how to improve soil health, recognizing common pasture plants and lots of other things.  You can do as many or as few courses as you want.  It is totally flexible and the workload required for each course is not high.  There is a cost but it is not unreasonable.  We were their first ever homeschoolers but they liked the experience of having homeschoolers!  They have now streamlined a process to make it easier for other homeschoolers to get qualifications and credits in agriculture.  We think this is a brilliant option for homeschoolers.  Their website is https://www.taratahi.ac.nz/programmes/primary-industries-in-schools  This site contains all the various options for secondary school-age students.  You will notice that they also offer some pretty cool on-farm courses but these practical courses are not available in all parts of New Zealand, however we can certainly all access the many distance-learning options (scroll to the bottom of the page on that site to find the distance learning section).

Regards, Gwenda Smithies rgsmithies@xtra.co.nz

Help needed for German Home Educators

From Michele Moore

Dear friends. We are back in Europe helping the German homeschoolers again. We are over the boarder in Denmark. The last three days we have been working with a family who fled Germany last week. They have 4 children and are down to zero resources having paid many fines. The authorities attempted to take their children but they have escaped via Berlin. Their car is in a bad way. Peter has assessed it and it needs major work. They are hoping to drive to the UK. We asked our contacts there for a message on their homeschool website. A South African missionary has offered some help. If anyone would like to pray for Toni and Vanessa and family and/or offer any other help that would be great. Anyone who would like to pray for or help support Peter & me during our time here would be much appreciated too. Many thanks, Michele Moore.
