Include specifics on your daily routine, division of responsibilities, and how you will manage your work commitments alongside home schooling.

Tutor Information:

As the parent, you hold full responsibility and control over your child’s education. You may use tutors for support, but they should not take over the educational role or responsibility for your child’s learning.
- Using a Tutor Centre as Daycare: If you’re using a tutor centre mainly to keep your child safe during the day while you’re at work, rather than as the primary source of education, you don’t need to fill in their details here. Since the centre’s role is to care for your child rather than lead their education, it should be seen as a daycare, not an educational centre.
- Using a Specific Tutor: If you use a specific tutor to assist with your child’s education, you can enter their name and address in this section. Alternatively, you may list your home address as the main location for your child’s education.
Do you use a tutor to assist with your child’s education?*
Tutor centres or daycare centres should not be listed, as they do not take responsibility for your child’s education. However, if you use a specific tutor to assist with your child’s education, you may include their details here. Remember, you remain fully responsible for your child’s education.
