Make sure to gather all necessary documents before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Full Year Learning Plan
As part of the registration process, you'll need to attach a Scope and Sequence (also known as a full year learning plan) to your application. These documents outline which subjects your child will be learning and how they will be taught.
The Scope and Sequence documents are available in two places: your child's student portal in the "Getting Started Resources" section or in your parent account under the "Student Documents" tab.
Step 4: Fill out the Individualisation Template
We've attached an individualisation template to help you personalise the Scope and Sequence for your child. The example will give you an idea of what to write for your child. This is an important step, as it ensures that the Homeschooling program is tailored to your child's specific needs and interests.
The template is a place for you to write a few sentences about how your child will relate to each subject. You can include their feelings, past experiences, or any relevant activities or excursions you plan to do with them. This documentation is essential for the success of your child's Homeschooling program.
Step 5: Submit Your Application
Once you've completed all the steps above, it's time to submit your application. Email your Homeschooling application to [email protected]. Be sure to attach all required documents, including the Scope and Sequence and individualisation template.
