Welcome to the Homeschool Adventures Club Community! We're a vibrant, growing hub for homeschooling families across the Central Coast, Newcastle, The Hunter Valley and beyond created to support connection, creativity, and community in every stage of the homeschool journey. 🧡

What began as a small excursion membership has blossomed into something truly special. A one-stop space for homeschoolers to connect, discover, and thrive together.

Here’s what you’ll find here:

🧡 Community | Connection | Support

A warm, inclusive space to share your experiences, ask questions, find encouragement, and meet like-minded families.

🚍 Excursions | Camps | Events

Carefully curated experiences that make learning come alive including all-inclusive excursions, fun-filled camps, and community-led gatherings.

🌿Weekly Social Club | Workshops

Hands-on, engaging workshops held weekly on the Central Coast, with shuttle access for Hunter and Newcastle members.

🌼 Homeschooler’s Hub

We’re building an organised resource hub through our website and this group. Including local events/ workshops (ours and others), homeschooling tools, resources, curriculum ideas, and more.

📷Homeschool Mag

Our community mag showcases community stories, kid creations, helpful resources, and local happenings. By homeschoolers, for homeschoolers.

Whether you’re new to homeschooling or a seasoned explorer, you belong here. We exist to make home education easier, more enriching, and full of meaningful connection, for your kids and for you.

This is only the beginning. Let's grow, adventure, and learn together.

1. How many people are able to join HSAC?

Exclusive to 60 people in total = 30 memberships if no one adds additional add ons. Our goal is to have 1 bus allocated for the Hunter Valley areas and 1 bus for the Central Coast. We want this to be inclusive to the homeschool community but still have the small community feel.

2. Are there seatbelts on the bus?

No, they are your standard public transport buses

3. Is there air conditioning on the bus?

No, we have windows that open up instead that create a nice natural breeze.

4. What are the pick up stops?

• Maitland Station
• Carpark crn of Stanford and Main Rd opposite Caltex 195 Main Road Heddon Greta, Kurri Kurri

• Sparks Road carpool car park, Warnervale
• Ourimbah Interchange Carpark, Ourimbah
• Shell, 6 Central Coast Hwy, Kariong

5. What are the ages of the children joining?

We have a lovely fairly even variety of ages of children from 5 - 16 years. We also have a small group of children under 5 years too which is lovely at our weekly social club workshops.

6. When and how long is the membership available to sign up to

New members can sign up at the start of each term for our Social Club and at the start of the year for our annual Adventures Club

7. What is HSAC future plans for how it will operate

Our goal is to eventually have a bus allocated to certain regions e.g. North and South Hunter Valley regions, North and South Central Coast regions. As well as doing themed bonus excursions for specific age groups. This will further enhance connections with other homeschool members located in your area and building connection with one another.

8. Can you swap out the adult attending on the day if needed?

Most definitely! If you are the primary carer for your child and unable to attend an excursion, you are able to have another carer to look after your child for that date. Alternatively if your share care with another parent or know some dates may be shared between another carers that is okay too. The only requirement is that any carer joining has a working with children's check, prior to joining as a legal requirement being around other children. 

9. Can you join the excursion without the bus and meet up with the group on the day?

Unfortunately not, having families joining our excursions separately from the bus was something we did consider when creating HSAC. However considering HSAC is a sister business to Bangin Bus Tours and everything we do is under our initial company for legal purposes it isn't viable for us.

From a logistical view, our goal is to create ease and convenience. If managing multiple buses on our excursion dates and coordinating our members as well as additional people that are meeting us to join is also undesirable as we would always run the risk of others being late and delaying our excursion experience/ tour. I know this may seem minor, but overall this does impact the experience for everyone.

10. Why can’t adult's join for free or be at a reduced cost?

Adults typically still require the same fees and entry charges for all of the venues and activities we have our excursions at. We were trying to look at ways to reduce the cost for adults as we know the focus is around the children experiencing the excursion and adults typically are supervising. But for the excursions we have planned, the adults will still be just as involved as the children. 

In relation to the bus space, adults still take up another seat, so it's not possible to have a reduced price for the same product/service.

This is what inspired us to create the Navigator and Explorer option for children to join our excursions on their own without an adult, from the ages of 7 years +

11. Can I cancel my membership?

Yes, the term "membership" we used as it was the easiest way to describe this service. But it is essentially a payment plan for the service we are providing, please read over our T&C's in relation to our cancellation policy.

We are passionate and dedicated to redefining the homeschool community and simplifying parents lives.
