Since 1989 Beverley Paine has steadfastly promoted and supported home education as an educational choice for Australia families. Her books and websites aim to demystify education, gently deschooling families so that they may meet their children's individual and unique educational and developmental needs. Her honesty, insights and wealth of experience continues to bring hope, reassurance and confidence to families.
Home education is a legal alternative to school education in Australia. State and Territory governments are responsible for regulating home education and have different requirements, however home educating families are able to develop curriculum and learning programs to suit the individual needs of their children.

Junior Ten-Pin Bowling State Championships
Over two weekends in September Luke (11 years old) and Toby (7 years old) entered the Junior State Championships in Ten-Pin Bowling at the Salisbury Bowl.
 Luke and Toby live near Eudunda, South Australia, which is situated approximately 110 kilometres north from Adelaide, (north of the Barossa Valley).
The boys have only been Ten-pin bowling since February this year, and have already competed in 3 competitions, this being the biggest, and most challenging event, with people coming from all over South Australia to compete.
Six Barossa Valley Junior Bowlers aged between 7 and 14 years old went down and entered into the titles bringing home 12 out of 15 medals. The State Championships were the first major event that six of the boys had ever been in outside of the Barossa Bowl.
Luke and Toby managed to receive a medal for all of the events that they entered. Luke received 3 gold medals, 1 for a team event, (he was in with Toby and 3 other boys from Barossa), 1 for his Doubles he entered with a friend called Steven, and one for his singles. Toby received one gold for the team event, one for his doubles with a friend called Daniel, and a bronze medal (3rd) for his singles event.

Welcome to the world of home education - learning without school! We officially began educating our three children in 1985, when our eldest was five years. In truth, we had helped them learn what they need to learn as they grew and explored and discovered this amazing world since the moment they were each 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. I hope that your home educating adventure is as satisfying as ours was!
