Your registration period for Homeschooling with the WA Department of Education is typically 12 months. This period begins on the date of registration and ends on the same date the following year.

Reporting Requirements
Reporting for Homeschooling in WA can be done either via the Government Report Creator or by submitting hard copies of work samples and parent assessment checklists.

Work Samples:

- For all other subjects, you will need 1 work sample for each term.
📓 If you are using the Government Report Creator, a total of 4 work samples per subject area will be required. It is always a good idea to have a few extra work samples on hand, as reporting is ultimately up to the discretion of the moderator.
