This event is now fully booked - sorry!

Brought to you by Auckland Home Educators Inc in association with the Ministry of Education.

To legally home educate in NZ, a parent/guardian must obtain a "Certificate of Exemption from Enrolment at a Registered School" for each child. This is not available or required before the child's 6th birthday

This Forum aims to clarify a process which can cause some anxious moments!
Be guided through the application document by the staff who handle them.
Gain knowledge to write yours with confidence or help others to prepare theirs.
Primary, secondary and special needs considerations will be covered.
Support groups may wish to be represented to be up with the Ministry’s current approach.

Although staff are unable to go through your individual draft, this is certainly an opportunity to ask questions.

Remember! Local Ministry staff are not responsible for the Government's imposition of this legal requirement. This is not an appropriate time to question that issue. Nor is it the place to discuss your personal educational experiences or philosophy.

Entry is by pre-registration only - close-off is 4pm Sunday 22 January or earlier when capacity is reached

Early registration is advised for this popular session. Places are limited by room capacity. Please register only if you can commit to being there. Government building security means an advance attendance list must be supplied. Avoid the embarrassment and disappointment of being denied entry if you’re not on that list! Building doors will be unmanned after 7.10pm so entry will be unavailable after that - no exceptions!

    AHE Inc 4 months ago

    Attended by around 35 prospective & current home educators, the MoE staffer who processes Exemptions in the Auckland region took us through the current Exemption pack & explained what he was looking for in each section. Plenty of opportunities for questions & feedback. It was very helpful for expanding on what was required, dealing with ‘tricky’ issues & clarifying common misconceptions. Other topics touched on included recent statistics, special needs, unschooling, engaging others to help with the learning process, etc. Those who attended found the evening very helpful for giving them confidence in approaching the task & a greater understanding of the MoE perspective.

    A full report, inc what was covered in each section, can be read in the AHE bulletin due next week - so members can keep an eye out for that.

    We aim to repeat the session later in the year. In the meantime, check out Auckland Home Educators on Facebook!
