SHEN – Sydney Home Education Network

We rely on group owners and members to let us know when this group needs updating. Please email us if you see a correction that needs to be made or you have a group you would like to add here. :
Most local groups use the Facebook platform to organise meets. If you don’t wish to use Facebook, you may contact SHEN to put you in touch with a local group member however, this is not a reliable method. If you are not comfortable using your own name on Facebook, many members use a psuedonym just for homeschooling purposes. Please email us if you would like assistance to set this up. We understand the importance of social connections and are happy to help.
