“Dream big. What do you want your homeschool to look like? What do you want your whole life to look like? Go after that.”

Marieka, her husband and their five children aged 16, 11, 9, 7 and 1 have been homeschooling family style for the last 6 years in sunny Western Australia. As a teacher who’d become disillusioned with the classroom, she decided she would much rather teach her own and they haven’t looked back. I couldn’t have asked for a more inspirational guest to round out this season of Australian Homeschool Stories. Enjoy all the gold Marieka has to share and stick around until the end to hear what 2025 has in store for this podcast.

This is episode 41 of Australian Homeschool Stories, Marieka's story.

This podcast was recorded on the land of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respect to elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, always will be aboriginal land.
