Registration in New South Wales

Currently those homeschooling in New South Wales are under the 2013 Information Package which has caused a great deal of anxiety to home educators. (Read more here.) The Select committee appointed to investigate homeschooling has met and is about to list their recommendations.

We are keen to find out exactly what homeschooling requirements for registration will be. The Board of Studies links below show the current requirements from the Board of Studies. (Nov, 2014)
