The executive committee 2009-2010 consists of:
Penny Bilton (co-ordinator)
Maddy Maxwell (minutes secretary)
Maddy Maxwell is currently home educating their 6 year old son and their elder girls have been out in the workforce, or at college, since 2005. She tends to a fairly eclectic/unschooling sort of education with occasional forays into interesting curriculum.
She has always placed importance on local networks, home school newsletters and organising events for the children. Field trips have also been an important part of their lives.
She lives in Oamaru with husband Brent and three of their four children.
Dawn Jones (membership secretary)
Michelle Campbell (treasurer)
Tarnya Burge ( webmaster and mail secretary)
Tarnya Burge is a homeschool mother of eight (15 years to 1 year). She takes a self-teaching approach in her home education. “I’m committed to seeing home education as a viable option for more people. While it might be ideal to have one parent wholly committed to home education it is possible to make it work in other circumstances. Home Education can be the best education available to your child even without a full-time available parent.” Tarnya and her husband, David live in Kingseat, Franklin.
Marianne Wilson ( advisor)
Graham Clark (auditor)
