Home schooling is a growing solution for children who are not happy or comfortable in a traditional school setting. One of the key concerns for parents and carers who may be thinking about home schooling their children is often related to the social networks and peer friendships which children have the opportunity to develop at school. Building relationships with people of a similar age is an important part of learning and growing, and
its value cannot be ignored for the mental wellbeing of any child.
A homeschool network is a perfect solution, providing children who are homeschooled with the chance to spend time with other children. It also helps create links between parents who are home-schooling their children, another valuable outcome.
So where does Landcare come into this? Well, networks need activities to bring everyone together, and what better activity than a morning outdoors learning about our native birds, walking through a beautiful natural area, and creating collaborative artworks!
