Thanks in advance.
What are are you in? There are some branches that are really homeschool friendly, and there are a couple that make applicants jump through more hoops than what they are actually legally able to do. The MOE is actually doing a review of the exemption process right now, and they are working to make it more friendly and trying to better understand unschoolers. I really suggest you get on facebook and look at all the NZ Homeschooling groups on there. There are several closed groups and an open one. All of the lovely people there are very helpful and willing to look over your application. NZ has a rather large homeschooling network, so do take advantage. Another good site to look is HEF..home education foundation in New Zealand. If you want more info on the groups, send me a PM.
Good Luck!
