NSW - Reporting Process

When registered with the NSW Department of Education (NSW DoE), you are generally required to report 12 months after you receive Homeschool registration approval. Once you report, you will be required to re-register shortly or immediately after.

If you are not aware of your reporting due date, please contact the department to confirm.

​In order to successfully report to the NSW Department of Education, there are certain requirements that need to be met when you submit your report. This article outlines what you need to prepare when reporting to NSW DoE in order to ensure a smooth and successful process.

Here's what you will need to have ready:

You will need to prepare and submit a certain number of work samples as part of your reporting requirements. The amount of work samples needed may vary depending on your NSW Department-appointed administrator. It's recommended to contact your appointed AP to discuss your individual work sample requirements to ensure you have everything necessary. If you don't know who your appointed AP is, you can simply contact the department for confirmation.
​

When preparing your work samples, it's a good idea to keep a few extras on hand, as the number of work samples required may vary at the discretion of the moderator.

Basic work sample guide

If you're not sure where to start when preparing your report, here's a basic reporting guide to follow. Keep in mind that your NSW department-appointed administrator may have different requirements, so be sure to confirm with them before submitting your report.

Minimum Requirements:

- 2 Work Samples from English
- 2 Work Samples from Math
​- 1 Work Sample from each additional subject, per term.

3. Parent Assessment Checklists

In addition to the work samples, you will also need to provide the corresponding parent assessment checklists for each work sample that you submit. This means that if you submit 15 work samples, you will need 15 parent assessment checklists. These checklists provide a summary of the work that has been covered throughout the year.

Euka's Premium Reporting service, allows parents to upload 1 work sample, per subject, per Term, making it easy to gather and submit your work samples and meet government reporting requirements.  It simplifies the reporting process, as you will not be required to fill in the parent assessment checklists.   Be sure to include as many work samples and photos as possible from each subject area, which provides an overview of all work covered throughout the year.
