Home education is a legal alternative to school education in Australia. State governments are responsible for regulating home education.
Different states have different requirements, however homeschooling families are able to develop curriculum and learning programs
to suit the individual needs of their children.

Over the years I’ve found ‘affirmations’ a powerful aid in achieving my goals. They help to reprogram my brain and cement new attitudes and thoughts firmly into place. I like to personalise affirmations and to print them out on cards that I can carry with me, or prop up on my desk where I will see them daily. They’d make great fridge magnets too, only we don’t have a fridge!

Here are my favourite ‘learning invocations’. I like to read this list over and over again for a few minutes until it feels imprinted in my brain. The up-lifting positive energy it they invoke seems to last several days. One of my favourite ways to work with affirmations is to set them to a memorable tune, and then sing them at the top of my voice when I’m alone in the car!
