Registration

An enrolment at school or participation in another full-time eligible learning option means that registration needs to be surrendered by you (the original applicant).

Registration is surrendered by notifying the Home Education Unit (HEU) in writing. When doing so, please:

• enclose your child's registration certificate (which you are required to return)
• identify the school (or full-time eligible learning option) that your child will now attend
• provide the required written report on your child's educational progress (if due at the time of surrender).

Yes. Participation in the NAPLAN tests is generally available through your local school.

NAPLAN testing is only done at a school and within the school's testing timetable.

If a school cannot provide supervision, then your child is not able to sit the tests.

Prior to the tests in May each year, all parents with eligible children are contacted by the Home Education Unit (HEU) with written information about the tests. A letter of introduction is supplied (by request) to assist you in your discussions with a school near you.
