Auckland Home Educators Inc has been holding this annual get together since the year 2000 when it was originally the “Not Going Back To School!” Day. It’s held in early February and is now Auckland’s largest home-school get-together, drawing together families from across the Greater Auckland region and beyond. Largely in the form of a BYO picnic, a programme of activities for all ages has been incorporated over recent years.
Date: Thursday 8th February 2024
Time: 10:30 – 12:30 Location: Cornwall Park – Green Lane West, Epsom, Auckland 1051

Kia-ora!
In 2017 we celebrated 20 years since AHE began.
We held special activities to mark the occasion – it was a fantastic day with over 300 people in attendance!
Join us again in 2024!
Bring along your picnic lunch and a rug – plus a kite if the wind is good. We always hold a regular soccer match and Tug-O-War. You can join in a Swap’n’Sell of home-school resources (Note: this is not a setting for other business activity).
Come along to meet new people, catch up with friends and find out what’s on for the year. Everyone is welcome, and you’re encouraged to invite a partner or spouse, wider family, neighbours and supporters, if only for a short time. Even sceptics can be persuaded to drop in to gain a better understanding of your community, all with the help of a huge third party! We’re constantly thrilled to see the relieved smiles on dad/grandma’s face when they see how many others enjoy this minority lifestyle. And remember to invite that someone you know who’s considering home education. So much networking goes on for both new and established families.
Please note: as with all AHE events, parents are responsible for the the safety and care of their own children. Please ensure you actively supervise the children in your care.
