Our Leadership

HASCA Leadership 2024

HASCA’s Elected Officers and Committees are all volunteers – homeschooling parents just like you!

Roles undertaken by our incredible committee members include – Julie Miners (Secretary), Lin Li Webster (Minutes Secretary, Scholastic Book Club, Cuppa & Chat, Grants), Nancy Falconer (Treasurer & MERC), Nina Lawgun (HASCA Hub, Netball Coordinator, & Social Media), Selena Spottiswoode (Basketball Coordinator, Uniforms, & MERC), Joy Yang (Membership Secretary), Fiona van Ameringen (Library Coordinator, Cuppa & Chat), Eva-Corrien Pedersen (Basketball Skills & Coach), Helen Anderson (Woodturning Course Coordinator), Sayaka ‘Sai’ Wild (Welcoming & Support), Laura Murphy (Welcoming & Support), and Adrian Yang (Millennium Swimming/Sports).

These amazing people are the drivers behind HASCA’s sports teams, programmes and activities, events, and day-to-day running! They are passionate about providing support to our home-schooling community and opportunities to our home-educated children, opportunities that they may not normally have access to. These people give their time and talents and make great things happen!

Our elected officers and executive committee members may alter annually (at the Annual General Meeting and based on AGM elections); however, our sub-committee is open, and you can join anytime!

We welcome you to bring along your ideas and thoughts – or share any talents and skills you may have with our homeschooling community.

Meetings
We hold a minimum of four annual executive and/or general committee meetings, including our Annual General Meeting. The quorum at said meetings is eight financial members, including the President, Secretary, and Treasurer (or their proxies from the executive). Paid-up HASCA members are welcome to attend general meetings.

Wonderful, generous helpers & support people!
Yes! We have an incredible group of people who volunteer their time to run HASCA and provide amazing learning opportunities for home-educated children and families …but we can always use more help!
