We're On The Waugh Path and we've been travelling around Australia in our caravan for around 2 years. This is a video in a series aimed at helping you plan a lap of Australia. If you’re planning on caravanning Australia wth kids, you will likely need to road school them. You probably have heaps of questions like how does that work? What's involved? What are the options? This video should hopefully help navigate these questions, to make the transition to being a travelling family a bit easier.
We live in our caravan full time and share our journey with you. While we share the experiences that we have while caravanning around Australia, we also share tips, tricks, and things to help you plan a similar journey around Australia. The Big Lap is so exciting (welcome to the living of caravan family Australia!) and this video focuses on if you’re planning the lap of Australia with kids. Whether you’re home schooling, doing Distance Education, NEPSODE or unschooling, this information for schooling while caravanning around Australia should help.
Have you done the lap of Australia, or travelled around Australia? We’d love to hear your experiences on how it worked whether doing home-schooling, distance education, unschooling or some approach we’ve not heard of. We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
Caravanning with kids and schooling them on the road is amazing, but it can be quite daunting to start. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and engaging with us in the comments.
Cheers,
Danny, Eb, Em & Ace

We plan to be travelling by December and we homeschool with a program
Been loving watching your travels but just to clarify - Unschooling is still homeschooling. It is simply a ‘method of homeschooling’ You still need to register with the Ed Dept, it’s just that you will school in a child led manner. 😊
Absolutely. We're still learning about it too :-)
This was a great video! We are leaving for our big lap at the end of the year. Yesterday I submitted an application for exemption from attendance to our principal. If it gets declined then we will probably go with Sydney distance ed. my daughter will be in year 3 next year so it was great hearing your experience.
awesome - hopefully the exemption comes through as that makes it alot easier :-)
I don't have any kids of my own but still found it very interesting how it all worked.
Cheers Paul 👍
Hello Ebony! I know I way behind in the videos and I am hoping to start catching up. I never heard of unschooling so I learned something new. Have a good day and safe travels!
Thanks Harry! Happy New Year mate 🎉
The options are great. We don't have babies yet but interesting topic.
Thx for sharing 🌸✌️
you're welcome :-) Thanks for watching
Smart cookies these Waughs!
Thanks Dad 😆
Thanks for sharing all these tips guys, it's really helpful. My bf and I are also from NSW and are planning to have a long trip around Australia with my 7 years old daughter.
It's nice to see all these actually worked out for you guys 🤙
Our pleasure! You will have an awesome time!!! Enjoy!
You should know we love you guys. 😜😘👋
Thanks mate. We love you guys right back! 😊
Awesome stuff guys and very informative! Distance education seems like the way to go for having everything organised for you and knowing your meeting certain standards!!
Yeah I’d agree with that. But once we’ve had some experience teaching our kids now and are more confident with it, I think homeschooling would be amazing because you have more control of it and option to tailor it to the child - their abilities/likes etc. More time consuming from the parent’s perspective. The good news is that both options are there 😊
@@ebonywaugh7271 I guess it would be a good place to start then switch over if you’re more confident! We can’t wait!!
I can’t believe you can’t home school in NSW when you’re on the road?! I’m a teacher and had planned on homeschooling my kids for our big round Australia trip. Hmm…
Yep, crazy. Some people change their address to relatives’ in other states just so they can register for homeschooling there to get around it 🧐
We're trying to do the same, which distant educator did you use? We have an 8yo and a 11yo. Yours sounds more flexible than the one we are considering with ACC.
My apologies, I Listened again and heard Sydney Distant Education.
On.Enjoyed, very beautiful masterpiece,see ya!~;))
thanks :-)
