SOCIAL CLUB
Why Social Clubs?
It is vital that children have the chance to not only develop skills in areas they enjoy but also to feel like they are an integral member of a group. The Euka social groups allow kids to connect both with the Euka teacher and with other students in the group. They laugh together, discuss ideas, suggest solutions and create together, all while participating in an activity they enjoy.
How does it work?
Fill in the link below and choose which Clubs your child may enjoy Here. This will allow us to email you a zoom link and add you to the Facebook Club group. You will use the same link to get into the Club every week. The Clubs are optional, you can come to them all, or just when you have time. They will be on the same day and time each week. If you miss it and want to get involved, you can access the recording on the Euka Club Facebook page.
You or your child are welcome to post photos or videos of your successes or failures on the private club social group. This is a wonderful community full of encouragement and support.

Drivers Education
Did you know that Euka has a free drivers education course. The Drivers Ed course is designed to be helpful for students in all States. In the first week, you will find the links to the various State Learner Driver Instructions.
The weekly lessons cover material that is relevant in every State from general road rules to changing a tyre, what to do in an accident, and even what to look for when buying a car.
There are videos that feature various States and in this case, the program will note that, but all lesson material has been chosen to ensure relevance no matter which State you are in.
Let us know if you want this course added to your student’s portal.

Fantastic work Tuscany you have created a wonderful poster to share what you have learnt.
Annie (Foundation – and little brother)
You have used all of the space on your paper to create a beautiful painting!
The colours you have chosen are bright and vivid. You have chosen amazing patterns for the flowers. You are very creative! Well done. Euka
3 year old Archer joined in with his sister (Annie) Foundation Art lesson. Well done Archer.
TJ (Grade 8)
Wow! Your art project depicts the bright colours and still life objects inspired by Wayne Thiebaud! The shapes you have painted are terrific.
The shadows look amazing. The streaks painted in washes of diluted paint are wonderful. Your use of space in your art project are valuable details also. Nice job! Euka
Toby (Grade 5) Geography: Europe.
“The painting of the 3D topography map was not my son’s favourite (too much like art!) but he gave it a go for a solid 15 minutes. The online “click on the country” quiz is so much fun!”
Fantastic effort Toby. You have put great effort into your 3D map and created a wonderful reminder of your Europe lessons.
Indianna (Grade 5) Geography – Topographical Map of Europe.
This is our first year of Homeschooling and my daughter is thriving. Her learning and capacity to absorb information and retain it is blowing my mind.
Well done! This is fantastic!!!!
