2025 HEWA Not Back To School - Homeschool Buy, Sell and Swap

HEWA has organised a buy, sell, swap morning for our community. This is the last week of the school holidays to 'celebrate' not going back to school for another year!! But also so that people can clear out ready for the new year of learning, and also for people to buy new resources to prepare!

Information for sellers (private sellers only - no businesses)

• You can book 'up to' two trestle tables. The trestle tables are provided at the venue, but you will need to bring your own table cloths should you want them covered. 
• One trestle is free if you are a HEWA member. The second trestle is $5 for members, and each of the trestles is $10 for non-members (2 tables maximum). The cost is to cover the hall hire.
• All the goods you have for sale must fit on the trestle tables. To prevent trip hazards, no items can be placed in front of the tables. If you have a lot of things to sell, please book two tables.
• You are able to sell or swap homeschooling resources for all ages, however please ensure that they are of a quality that is acceptable to pass on (i.e. not highly damaged or mouldy) and if there are parts missing, then please clearly communicate this to the buyer.
• No food items or perishable items are to be sold.
• No electrical items (that plug into a wall socket) are able to be sold
• Private sellers only - no businesses
• You must arrive at 9:30am to set up. You must have packed up all your items for sale by 1pm
• It is your responsibility to take all of your items that haven't been sold away at the end of the session
• The tickets are non-refundable, however if you find you can't attend, you can pass your trestle(s) on to someone else. Please ensure however that HEWA is kept in the loop as we need everyone who is selling to understand the conditions.
• Sellers are able to buy as well. 
  
• There is a small booking fee added on to the price. We use Humanitix as the booking fee goes towards charitable causes.

Information for buyers

• The event will run for two and a half hours. (10:00am-12:30pm)
• HEWA takes no responsibility for the quality of goods sold. We have asked sellers be aware of quality control and to clearly communicate if there is damage to items or missing parts, however we cannot control this on the day.
• Children are welcome to attend the buy/swap/sell, however they remain your responsibility during the event. 
• The event is FREE for buyers, however if you can afford a gold coin donation (optional) upon entry, that would be appreciated. This money will go towards to Home Education WA's operations and helps ensure we continue to have a strong NFP organisation supporting homeschoolers in WA.

PICNIC PLAYDATE (run at the same time as the buy/swap/sell 10:00am-12:30pm)

• Adjacent to the venue is Braithwaite Park which TWO playgrounds (one for younger kids, one for older)
• Perhaps bring food & drink for a picnic!
