A list of local groups in Sydney Metro, Illawarra, Blue Mountains, Macarthur, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands and Central Coast areas.
SHEN – Sydney Home Education Network
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SHENHomeEd
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.
