PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND COMPLETE ONE OPTION BELOW WHICH DESCRIBES WHERE YOU ARE ON YOUR HOME EDUCATION JOURNEY:

Option 1 - I am currently home educating at least one child who has a valid Certificate of Exemption issued by the Ministry of Education. Please provide your exemption certificate number:

[ Where do I find my exemption number?]

It's a 5 digit base number followed by a -1 for first child, -2 for second, etc. There's only one reference number for the family - the "suffix" indicates the order of exemptions granted. You will find the exemption number on each Certificate of Exemption and also declaration letters. Your exemption number is not the same as the NSN (National Student Number) which is about 9 digits and unique to each student.

.

Option 2 - I am intending to home educate. Please provide the approximate date you expect to submit your application:

Option 3 - I have previously home educated. Please provide the date your Certificate of Exemption ceased:

Option 4 - I am a family member of someone who is already a member of the National Council. Please provide their name and membership number:

Option 5 - Other situation, not covered above. Please provide details:

If we are unsure whether or not you are genuinely homeschooling [or intending to/considering homeschooling], we may ask further questions or for a copy of your child’s exemption certificate.

The National Council communicates with members via email, the Forum and Facebook. When your membership has been approved you will be invited to join the National Council on Facebook and the Forum - it would be appreciated if you would choose one or both of these methods of communication so that you can be kept informed of special offers to members and other activities. If you choose neither, the only emails you will receive from the National Council will be the quarterly newsletter four times per year and a couple of AGM notices.

I understand that the National Council will email me a newsletter four times per year along with AGM details but I will need to be a member of the Facebook members group or The Forum for other notices: *

Yes
No

Our account details are Kiwibank 38-9014-0162108-00; Account name: National Council of Home Educators NZ Inc. Please include reference “donation” and if you wish, you can include your last name.
