My Child's Passport to the Future
Before the invention of the computer it was important for individuals to cultivate clear handwriting, however with the advent of notebooks and computers, fast, accurate keyboard skills are now highly desirable. With our world changing at an exponential rate, it is important that your child’s portfolio accurately reflect who they are and what they are capable of as well as their areas of challenge.
One of the beautiful things about home based learning is that education isn’t limited simply to schooling, however neither does it restrict your child from entering tertiary institutions, TAFE, technical colleges or other institutes, it will in fact enhance their ability to do so.
The following information is designed to help you put together a portfolio with your child that they can use to gain entry to a range of institutes.
