Welcome

What is the Blue Mountains Home Education Network?

We are a diverse network of home educating families living across the beautiful Blue Mountains of NSW. The Blue Mountains Home Education Network initiative is a collaborative and evolving project and has been created with the aim of facilitating communication and building connections between home educators in the Blue Mountains region. We hope that the BM-HEN will allow home educators in the Blue Mountains to connect with one another, to offer opportunities for collaboration between groups and individuals, and to provide access to resources, information and support to all home educating families.

NEW! We’ve recently set up a discussion group for home educating families in the mountains where you can ask questions, offer and receive support and advice, share resources and information or just connect with other home educating families. Join our BMHEN yahoo group here: http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/bmhen/

Participating local groups and support people

We are in the process of collating a list of local groups and individuals in the mountains that are available to offer support and social opportunities for home educating families. You can find more information in the ‘Local Groups’ section of the site. The Blue Mountains Home Education Network is always looking to expand it’s network of contacts. If you are part of a group or know of one not listed here already but wish to be – please contact us info@bmhen.org.
