Australian Homeschool Stories

Story 5, Bec from North Coast NSW

Today I interview my friend Bec, who is a homeschooling mum to 2 kids. Her and her family live near beautiful Ballina in northern NSW. Today Bec shares her journey with finding homeschool as an alternative to public school with a child on the Autism spectrum and how this has helped the whole family (but also was not without it's struggles along the way). We talk about how important self care and community are to homeschooling mums especially, but also what community means to our kids. 

Story 4 Leah

Leah is a homeschooling mum of two and lives in the Northern Rivers NSW. She provides wise insight into homeschooling based off her many experiences, some of which include her perspectives of the school system from her time as a Welfare worker, being a single mum, having chronic health issues, and overall what a good, healthy, learning life (for her) and her kids means.
