Home Education WA (HEWA) hosts a Teen Ball each year. For the last four years, this event has been held on a Saturday in early November. Having our event on a Saturday supports our regional and remote families who travel to Perth for the event.
The HEWA Teen Ball is a much‑loved annual event for our home education community. In this formal, inclusive evening, home‑educated teens come together to dress up, connect, dance, and celebrate.
Event dates, venues, and ticket details are announced via our Events Mailing List and through our social media platforms.

The Teen Ball is open to:
- Home‑based learners (home education or distance education)

- A partner or friend of a home‑based learner
- All attendees must be 13–19 years old on the date of the event
- Parents/guardians do not attend, this is a teen‑only supervised event.
