Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to the SHEAF Blog.

Despite our best intentions, we're not great at keeping this blog updated with our latest happenings. We are, however, definitely an active group, meeting at least once each week during term time.

If you'd like to make contact with Dunedin home educators, our contact details are in the column, below right.

We send out a weekly email newsletter with details of upcoming events, courses, gatherings etc.

You can also find us on Facebook (page is visible whether you're a facebook user or not)

Have a look through this blog to see the types of events we have organised in the past. You'll also find links to other blogs and articles that we find useful or informative, on the off-chance that you'll appreciate them too :~) (Look for these more general blog-posts under the label "Weekend Reading")

If you're not currently on our email list and would like to contact us, please email us at the address you can see in the column on the right. We'd love to hear from you!

Geology Museum

I just wanted to let people know about the Geology Museum at the varsity. A visit to this museum could tie in nicely with the Geology program that Nicola is organising on the 10th June at the Otago Museum.

The university's Geology Museum is open to the public every week day, 8.30am-5pm. Their display cabinets are quite high, so small people will need to be lifted up and carried to see them, but there are large viewing windows through to the fossil preparation lab and you can apparently see students and staff working on specimens (assuming they're not having lunch or something I guess!).

I don't plan to organise a group trip or anything, but figured people could make their own arrangements at a time that suited themselves.

Apparently they do cater for school trips, so perhaps this is an option for the future?
