From Homeschooling to Traditional Schooling...

So some people aren't so sure that our decision to travel Aus and home school our girls was a good decision for our girls, especially regarding their education.

Well I'm here to say that travelling and homeschooling our girls has been not only a WONDERFUL family experience, it has been extremely educational and both the experience and time together have shaped our girls into smart, fun and funny, adventurous, kind hearted, loving, determined, hard working, godly, young leaders. Yes I'm very proud of them xo
Celebrating a GREAT result for Term 2...

These girls have just completed term 2 of Grade 6 and year 8....and for all those out there concerned about travelling and homeschooling your children on the road, I'm here to say GO FOR IT and don't ever look back! Your kids will do GREAT!

Our girls SMASHED OUT their first term back at school. 
There grades are mostly A's and B's, and they both worked hard for these grades. Our girls have shown us and their teachers how very determined they are to do good with their education and they have shown what hard workers they are.

Both Elissa and Serena have been individually commended for their good behavior, good attitudes, leadership qualities, and for working hard to improve on areas that need improvement.

Elissa and Serena's teachers both told us when the girls were compared to other students who started this school at the same time as the girls (other students came from other schools) they couldn't tell the difference between the students. So basically there wasn't any difference between our children and other students. Basically our girls haven't been to a traditional school in more than 2 years yet they are at the level they are meant to be at. In fact some teachers hadn't realised the girls were home schooled.
Also both girls were commended for having good leadership skills and being the leaders in their class...We are shocked at how mature our girls are compared to children their age (not a criticism at all, just an observation) to say the least we are so hugely proud of our Girls...Onwards and Upwards for them xo

Our children have thrived with the adventure and challenges of travelling/living around Australia and homeschooling and now they are thriving with the adventure and challenges of being part of a new, large school, with hours of school work and homework, with after school extra curricular activities and tutoring, with building friendships in the same place everyday, our girls are thriving...We are where we are meant to be rite here, rite now...Thank You God xo

So if you are worried about travelling and homeschooling your children, don't be!
JUST GO FOR IT and watch them grow and THRIVE xo


Hope everyone is well xo
Love Dimi and Shane xo
