FOR one Werribee child, an average week consists of Kung Fu training, ten-pin bowling, dancing, cooking, in-line skating and art and drama classes.
Nine-year-old Logan Wong is a master of all trades.
Logan is home-schooled by his parents La-Wren and Dana Wong, even learning Kung Fu from his father, and he said would not have it any other way.
He spends so much time with his father that he has taken on his American accent, despite being born in Australia.
While many people still think home-schooling can lead to children becoming antisocial and sheltered, Logan is the exact opposite.
“People always think that socialising is a problem but he never quits,” Ms Wong said.
“He’ll hold up a conversation with people of any age.”
Ms Wong said home-schooling was becoming more popular in Wyndham.
“When we started thinking about it I didn’t know anyone that was home-schooling and people thought I was crazy,” she said.
“The moment we started doing home-schooling, parents came out of the wood work.”
And his parents insist that Logan does not miss out on anything that children in mainstream school receive.
“So many kids don’t really spend that much time with their dads,” Ms Wong said.
“We want as much time with him as possible and we have such an amazing relationship with each other. We can’t imagine sending him to school now.”
Logan is currently on the top of the junior league in bowling and said he wants to be a lawyer when he grows up.
