Campus Review Podcasts

Meet the Davenports: a family of traveling filmmakers based in the Blue Mountains. There’s mum and dad Erin and Jules, as well as three boys: Sebastian (11), Aiden (10) and Saxon (7). The itinerant nature of the parent’s work and lifestyle makes a conventional schooling impossible. With part-time ‘formal’ classroom schooling not permitted in NSW, the boys are 100% schooled by their parents. (They prefer to use the term 'world-schooled' over 'homeschooled'.) Campus Review talked with the family a fortnight after they'd returned from a trip around Tasmania, which was funded by the 2019 Real Life Classroom Initiative.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
