“very professionally run event”
“brilliant, awesome, really cool, fun” from teens!
“specially liked the last session with Diana Waring – Actually Engage and Enjoy Learning”
“Fantastic encouragement and inspiration for our home education journey. Really enjoyed Diana’s humour and passion.”
“We will go home chatting all the way about ways to go forward.”
“Diana’s honesty – things are not always perfect or even easy. Diana’s encouragement to be our own family”
“give-a-ways a great idea – thanks”
“interactions with other home educators”
“vendors and book sellers”
Diana’s talks were wonderful (challenging and encouraging) in Christchurch
- even better than both her previous visits
Diana home educated her children and now from a perspective of having adults at Universtiy and in the work force…and a couple of grandchildren she comes with much wisdom to share with us all
It doesn’t matter whether you are new to home education or have been at it for 10 years or more – you will be challenged and encouraged
What are the most important aspects of home education - come and hear Diana
Do you have your children’s hearts – come and hear Diana
Extremely happily married since 1979, Bill and Diana Waring home educated their three children for more than twenty years. The Waring children were the proving grounds for all the precepts, concepts, and encouragements Bill and Diana teach–the real-life examples of the wonders of home schooling! Now, new grandparents and somewhat empty nesters, Bill & Diana travel all over the world to share the joys of loving learning, honoring one another in the family, and enjoying the journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bill and Diana have arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand.
They will be spending the next couple of days in Akaroa after their 36 hours in either a plane or waiting at an airport. Thankfully Diana slept well on the San Francisco to Sydney flight. Her Auckland-Christchurch flight was delayed so we finally arrived at their bed and breakfast accommodation at 11pm.
The Early Bird cut off date for most of the Living, Learning and Laughing Conferences with
Diana Waring is 31 July
Book in early
Diana Waring is well loved for her bright enthusiastic presentation of history. Extremely happily married since 1979, Bill and Diana homeschooled their three children nearly twenty years. The Waring children (now all grown) were the proving grounds for all the concepts and encouragements Bill and Diana teach in real-life examples of the wonders of home schooling!
They will be visiting Australia and New Zealand in September and October this year. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to hear an inspiring experienced home schooler.
Diana and Bill have worked in speaking and writing for the Christian home school and private school community for 18 years. Through their business/ministry Diana Waring Presents (formerly, Diana Waring—History Alive!), they have met and talked with home schoolers in 46 states, half of Canada, and three other continents.
The curriculum for world history study Diana wrote, beginning in 1994, has been growing and expanding. She is in the midst of a five year effort to update and expand the research and presentation of the material. She is well known for her rapid-fire history recordings and workshops, but is also appreciated for her workshops and books of home school encouragement, like Beyond Survivaland Reaping the Harvest.
The Warings Mission:
“To serve families by encouraging, equipping,
and educating in an entertaining way.”

A group of 15 Christian home educating fathers is coming from the USA to investigate New Zealand as a possible place to which to re-locate their families.
They are eager to meet with other men living in New Zealand to learn about the country, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, financial institutions, health and welfare issues, how home education works here and what the home education community is like.
Four public meetings are planned in order to facilitate this, and each meeting is also featuring a formal talk by either Geoff or son Isaac Botkin. These should be of particular interest and benefit to New Zealand Christian home educating fathers, as well as mums, to enhance and encourage their own vision for what home education can and will do for their families, the Church and society as a whole.
The Botkin family lived near Snells Beach and then in Christchurch for six years, making it their business to meet and get to know as many leaders as they could in the Church, the media, economics, politics, home education, etc. Do strive to come to whichever of their meetings you are able.

Veteran producer and IT pioneer Geoffrey Botkin serves as an advisor to the Western Conservatory of the Arts and Sciences. He has written and directed some of the most controversial and widely watched public affairs films of the last twenty years, reaching viewers across the U.S., Russia, Europe, and Australasia. He has produced or executive-produced more than one-hundred documentary films, television productions, and other media projects.
In addition to time spent as CEO of an experimental international print/broadcast/Internet media conglomerate, Mr. Botkin has invested many years into the training of young media professionals, primarily at Deerwood Studios in the U.S. and the Family Television Network of New Zealand.
Mr. Botkin has lectured on philosophy and history at Hillsdale College, on politics at the Heritage Foundation, and on theology at worldview conferences in the U.S. and New Zealand. With his wife and seven children, he is currently researching the future of the feature motion picture.

Geoff Botkin who lived in New Zealand with his wife and seven children for seven years is visiting New Zealand for a week commencing 14 April 2009. Travelling with Geoff and his two sons, Isaac and David, are 14 men who, along with their families, are considering immigrating to New Zealand. This is a fact finding tour for these men. They will be making all sorts of inquires related to moving to New Zealand as they travel around. They will also be taking back the information they have learned to many other families who are considering leaving the USA.
One of the objectives for this group of people is to meet other like minded Christian Home Educators and the Movers and Shakers of the Home Education movement in New Zealand.
Below you will find the meetings that we have set up for this group to be able to meet as many Home Educators as possible and at the same time to be able to have a little more in-depth time with some Key Home Educators.
We would like the Bring and Share dinners to be for couples (and small babies) only. We would also like each couple (or individual if the wife stays home to look after children) to bring enough food for themselves and for two others. This will mean that we should have enough food to cover for our guests as well.
The Bring and Share dinners are only in Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch (Don't know how we were not able to swing for one in Palmerston North).
We have the privilege of picking the 12 couples for each Bring and Share dinner. If you would like to be one of those couples or individuals then please email me as soon as possible and we will review our list (you may already be on the list) and try to accommodate you.
