Preferably No Children:
Please note that no children will be allowed in the hall. Preferably leave them with a caregiver at home, but if this is not possible, they are welcome to play on the ample grass around the venue outside.
This is a PARENT day for you to learn more about homeschooling. All our other events are centred around the children!
The reason for not having them inside is so that parents will be free to share testimonies about their children and discuss issues they may have or have overcome and ask questions, without other little friends overhearing sensitive information!
Donations are requested to cover the cost of the tea and coffee.
Please reply so that we know how many will be attending and can send you directions if necessary.
