🌿 Exciting Opportunities for Homeschooling Families in the Shoalhaven Area! 🌿

Are you homeschooling in the Shoalhaven area and looking for flexible, innovative learning opportunities tailored to your child’s needs? I’m thrilled to announce that I’m exploring ideas for primary and secondary homeschooling groups that combine creativity, real-world skills, and dynamic learning environments. These programs will take advantage of nature and the outdoors while also offering other flexible and inspiring learning spaces!

📚 Potential Activities Include:
🌱 Growing Food: Hands-on gardening projects aligned with science and sustainability curriculum
🐾 Animal Care: Learn about farm animals, feeding, care routines, and the importance of ethical animal management
🔬 Science Experiments: Explore biology, chemistry, and environmental science through interactive activities
🐎 Equine-Assisted Learning: Horse interaction sessions to build confidence, communication, and empathy
🎨 Creative Workshops: Visual arts and design projects inspired by the natural environment
🌳 Outdoor Education and Beyond: Bushwalking, plant identification, and sustainable living practices paired with flexible learning spaces for broader exploration

Each program will be designed to be flexible and able to be adapted to your child’s individual educational and learning needs, providing a unique and engaging experience led by a highly experienced educator.

With a strong background in education and creative learning, I am an accredited high school teacher and specialise in a wide range of subjects, including Visual Arts, Science, Technology, Digital Media, Photography, Digital Technologies, Design, Food and Agriculture. I also run Balance Equestrian Riding School and Balance Equine Therapies, focusing on horse riding, equine therapy (private and NDIS), and connecting with nature. Additionally, I’m in the final stages of completing my Equine Science degree and hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography).

If this sounds like the right fit for your family, please contact me via private message for more details or to express your interest!

🌟 Help Spread the Word! 🌟
If you know other homeschooling families in the Shoalhaven area who might be interested in these programs, please like and share this post! Word of mouth and social media are powerful tools to connect and help bring this exciting opportunity to more families in our community.

📣 Meet Kohia Schofield! 🌟

We are thrilled to introduce Kohia, our dedicated Therapeutic Equine Interactions Facilitator, who has been with us since February. Kohia brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our team, with a background in Psychology and Animal Science from Charles Sturt University and specialized training from the Equine Psychotherapy Institute of Australia.

Kohia's approach is strengths-based and person-centred, focusing on the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship between horse, client, and practitioner. Her experience in Out Of Home Care and working with NDIS clients has been invaluable in providing tailored therapeutic interventions.

What she loves most about working with horses is their ability to see and accept your authentic self, creating a deeply healing experience.

Kohia has an available session every Saturday, so if you or someone you know could benefit from her expertise, please complete our Intake Form at the blow link! https://forms.gle/TAzy6K1rZTEbqD849

We are so excited to have Kohia on our team and look forward to seeing the incredible impact she will continue to make. 🐴💚

Good morning, unfortunately, with all the rain we've had overnight the grounds are looking more like swimming pools than paddocks 🏊‍♂️, and it is forecast to continue raining quite heavily throughout the day. All lessons and sessions for today will unfortunately have to be canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date (when grounds dry out).
Hoping that you stay warm and dry today and that sunshine is on its way in the next few days.
