THURSDAY HASCA HUB PROGRAMME

Merry Christmas to all our members. May you all have a happy and blessed Christmas and summer holiday.
The HASCA Hub has finished for 2025 and our coordinator and  team are now on holiday. 
Our coordinator will not be responding to inquiries until January 26th.
She intends for the term 1 timetable to be out by the following week which is when enrollments should open to 2026 HASCA members. The term 1 HASCA Hub program will then start on February 19th.

Warmest regards
Team HASCA

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.

We welcome registration from all homeschooling families with exemptions. However we offer priority placement to returning families in the first instance. For a new family to register, you will first need to join HASCA.

New families are welcome to fill out an enrollment form to be waitlisted, but we cannot guarantee you a place.

We will only be able to place new families if spaces still remain in classes at the end of the enrollment period and our overall venue numbers can accommodate this.
