THURSDAY HASCA HUB PROGRAMME

The HASCA Hub Programme is education and fun: designed by home-educating families for home-educating families. It is parent-led by a team of dedicated volunteers and supported under the HASCA umbrella (a non-profit organisation also run by dedicated parent volunteers and homeschooling families). We meet and ‘create community’ weekly on Thursdays on the Shore. We welcome your family to join us at the North Shore YMCA.

A wide range of activities, classes, and workshops take place at the HASCA Hub each term, usually for 8-weeks. Classes are facilitated by people who are passionate about providing learning opportunities and support to home-educated children and their families. Our Hub team is a mix of experienced homeschoolers, tutors, and senior/graduated homeschool students. We try to offer affordable classes to ensure entire families can take part if they choose to. We hope you will find something or several somethings, you like! Please join us, Thursdays at the HASCA Hub, at the North Shore YMCA (Akoranga Drive, Northcote) in term time. Enquiries welcome to nina.hascahub@gmail.com or hasca.nz@gmail.com.
