" Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. "

Welcome to Rockpool Homeschool.
Friday, 09 November 2007
As creators of this site we saw a need for curriculum reviews with a “Down Under” focus.

There are overseas reviews sites, but they don’t cater for our unique needs as Australian and New Zealand homeschoolers.  Does the history program we want to use have a US centric focus?  Will the phonics program cope with our accents?  What about all the wonderful products made especially for us that are not even mentioned on overseas review sites?  Well, we think we have the solution. 

You can register with the site and add your curriculum items as content, then you and others can review them.  You can review items entered by other people.   Please do have your say, and help others who are considering purchasing products you have used.  Let others know what you think to help them in their purchasing decision.  Curriculum costs big money sometimes and it’s nice to buy with “real life” opinions to back you up. 

This site does not subscribe to a particular religious belief, or homeschool style.  We hope that people of all beliefs and homeschool methodologies will come here and have their say.  This is your opportunity to tell people about the religious component (or lack thereof) of a product from YOUR perspective. 

You can also:

  • Add useful links that you know of to the weblinks section.
  • Join in our forum for help, information and support
  • Create your own blog entries 
  • Submit articles and news items for publication on the site
  • Use the classifieds section for buying and selling used homeschool curriculum
  • Create a group for meeting others in your area
  • Post events that are happening for others to know about

When you add products and links, they don’t show until we have approved them.  This is to stop spamming and dodgy sites.  We check regularly, so it won’t be long before your entry is showing. 

We are working on articles on homeschooling, so come and visit often to see what is new, and add our RSS feed to your bookmarks.

Our aim is to be your one-stop information shop.

Brava, Beverley Paine!
Sunday, 04 November 2007

Over the past two decades, Beverley Paine has been a cornerstone of the homeschooling movement in Australia, spending immense quantities of time and energy empowering others as they took the leap into home education. Her practical advice, insight and experience have been invaluable. So many families have benefited from Beverley’s articles, books, newsletters, networks, events, phone and email support.

In her November edition of the online Homeschool Australia Magazine, Beverley announced her intention to move away from a supporting role in order pursue new projects. We wish her all the best in her new endeavours, and thank her for committing so much of her life to enabling and encouraging others in their homeschooling journey.
