AHE’s 26th Not-Back-To-School Picnic

is here!!

We look forward to seeing you there! 🙂 🙂

Date: Friday 6th March 2026
(Rain Date: Friday 13th March 2026)

Start Time: 10:30am

Location: Maungakiekie One Tree Hill Domain (near Stardome) - 666-668 Manukau Road, Epsom, Auckland 1023


AHE Not-Back-To-School Picnic is almost here!!!! A day of fun summer activities is coming your way, and this is one day you don't want to miss.

Auckland Home Educators Inc has been holding this annual get together since the year 2000 when it was originally the "Not Going Back To School!" Day. It's always held in early February/March and is now Auckland's largest home-school get-together, drawing together families from across the Greater Auckland region and beyond. Largely in the form of a BYO picnic, a programme of activities for all ages has been incorporated over recent years.

Our committee will have a table in a designated area where people can come meet and chat with us. As this is a public park space, families may choose to bring your own picnic and utilise the space. Should you do so, please find below the guidance outlined at:

The area contains One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park, which are next to each other, and often seen as one. There is a playground including a train track for little ones and a skate bowl close to the entrance off Manukau Road.
