      AussieHomeschool Closing Down   11/14/2019

      All good things must come to an end and AussieHomeschool is no different. It is with much sadness yet even more necessity that this must be so.   As of Sunday evening, 17/11/2019 the Discussion Forums will close. The Classifieds, for now although not indeterminate, will continue as is.       Why is this happening now? In all honesty, it probably should have happened many years ago but I created this forum, which originally a homeschool classifieds forum for Aussies, about 20 years or so ago. I, along with others for whom I am gratefully indebted to, have spent many, many hours sweating, laughing, praying, crying, writing, apologising, pleading and speaking about this wonderful place. In this day and age of Social Media, along with our ages and therefore differernt stages of life, it is simply not viable in any way for it to continue. You may think differently and that's okay - you honestly have to have lived through some of the dramas and learning opportunities that we all have to truly appreciate why we have the standards that we do - they were borne out of necessity and not undertaken lightly. Much blood, sweat and tears have been spilt over this place. Even more friendships, learning, debate, love, prayer and great times have been had becuase of AussieHomeschool. No one could ever be more thankful for it than I.

      I understand you may feel frustration or even anger and for that I apologise, I feel you. But now it is YOUR time to go out and spread the word of home education and its benefits. Share YOUR story, tell those you know and don't know about homeschooling and what is has done for your family.   On behalf of John (my long suffering and patient husband), myself and the ENTIRE moderating team over the many years - I THANK YOU and WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVOURS.   God Bless, Susan (HomeGrownKids /  AussieHomeschool)

When Young Fu arrives with his mother in bustling 1920s Chungking, all he has seen of the world is the rural farming village where he has grown up. He knows nothing of city life. But the city, with its wonders and dangers, fascinates the thirteen-year-old boy, and he sets out to make the best of what it has to offer him. First published in 1932, and although China has changed since that time, Young Fu's experiences, like making friends, are timeless. 8 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time – Mark Haddon 165g $3pp as new 9 Homecoming – Cynthia Voigt 215g $3pp as new 10 Parvana – Deborah Ellis 185g $3pp as new (makes a great companion book with Kinglake to Kabul and Secrets in the Fire for a literature study (see Allen and Unwin guides) https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/childrens/young-adult-fiction/Parvana-Deborah-Ellis-9781865086941 Based closely on real life, this is the exciting and inspiring story of Parvana, a young girl growing up in Afghanistan, as she struggles to make a life for herself and her family under the harsh rule of the Taliban. 11 The Breadwinner DVD – the story of Parvana $5 12 From Kinglake to Kabul – edited by Neil Grant & David Williams, 340g as new $3pp https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/childrens/young-adult-non-fiction/From-Kinglake-to-Kabul-Neil-Grant-and-David-Williams-9781742375304 Kinglake had one day of disaster with far-reaching effects; Kabul has endured 30 years of war.
