Perth will be holding its second Catholic Homeschooling Conference on Saturday, 29 November. Last year Archbishop Hickey addressed us. This year, Father Timothy Deeter will speak on how parents can prepare youth to take their place in a secular world.

The conference will include workshops on maths, writing, reading and history. Homeschooling parents will give talks on Catholic culture, art, literature and the father's role.

The conference provides an opportunity for country homeschoolers to meet and swap ideas with other Catholic homeschooling parents.
