This short and sweet episode is a preview to Season Three of the Australian Homeschool Stories podcast. Dropping in to say a quick hello is me, your host Stephanie, with happy not back to school wishes as well providing an update on the most recent statistics available about homeschooling in Australia today. To read more about the rising percentage trends and state by state breakdowns, take a look at this article here. All this means to highlight is that homeschooling numbers continues to rise, year on year, and that there has never been a better time to home educate than now. Homeschoolers now make up over 1% of the student population in Australia and we are a pretty rad bunch of people to hang with, if I do say so myself. Wherever you are in your own family's journey of homeschooling / unschooling / natural learning / wild schooling / road schooling / life schooling, it it my hope you will find inspiration, encouragement and camaraderie within the stories you will hear this season on the show. New episodes will be with you at the tail end of February. Happy Homeschooling in 2024! ~ Connect with us: Instagram -  @australianhomeschoolstories Substack - https://aushomeschoolstories.substack.com/ Email - [email protected] This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, always will be aboriginal land.
