NSW Legislative Assembly Select Committee Inquiry into Home SchoolingOn the 28th May 2014, in response to growing concern expressed by home educators, combined with the tabling of a petition with 10,000 signatures regarding dissatisfaction with the revisions published the previous year in the Board of Studies Information Pack (the official guide to families applying for or renewing registration as home educators), a Parliamentary Inquiry into Home Schooling, "focusing on the context of home schoo ling and its regulatory framework, including any impediments to registration", was established. The Home Education Association's Lobbying Subcommittee swung into action with a series of planned actions to bring their concerns regarding this lack of consultation to the attention of politicians and Members of Parliament. They see the Inquiry as an opportunity "to influence both how home education is regulated and the resources and support available to home educators in NSW". The terms of reference of the Inquiry into Home Schooling are to inquire into and report on home schooling in New South Wales, and in particular:
The Committee will also invite some individuals and organisations to give evidence at public hearings. Submissions open on 5th June 2014 and submissions close on 8th August 2014. Written submissions may also be lodged online by sending to:
The Home Education Association encourages families to make submissions to the Inquiry, addressing some or all of the terms of reference, including provision of facts, opinions, arguments, and any recommendations for action. The HEA has produced resources to help families make submissions and welcome offers from volunteers keen to help. For more information please visit or download:

Welcome to the World of Home Education We began educating our children in 1985, when our eldest was five. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn since they were born. I am a passionate advocate of allowing children to learn unhindered by unnecessary stress and competition, meeting developmental needs in ways that suit their individual learning styles and preferences. Ours was a homeschooling, unschooling and natural learning family! There are hundreds of articles on this site to help you build confidence as a home educating family. We hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was! Beverley Paine
