How my daughter learns at home
Mira is eight, and she learns the way most eight-year-olds do when no-one's making them sit still: by asking, building, breaking, and asking again. Our day starts at the kitchen table with reading we choose together, and ends most afternoons in the garden, where her current obsession is composting.
This application sets out how we cover the eight learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum, the resources we use, and the rhythms of a typical week. We've included examples of work completed in the last term, and a written plan for the next.
[ … continues across all required learning areas. ]

We never guarantee MoE approval. That decision is theirs alone.
Real words. Real approvals.

I had been writing my own exemption for weeks but felt it wasn't good enough. This is more us!
When I read through the draft myself, honestly it made me so emotional.
MoE said it was written very well, with no concerns. A massive weight has been lifted.
We've sat where you're sitting now.
We've written MoE applications from scratch ourselves. We know how short the form looks, and how much work it actually is once you start.
Almost every parent we talk to lands in the same place: confident in their child, completely lost in the paperwork. Hours of social media threads, conflicting advice, and writing that doesn't quite sound right no matter how many times you redraft it.
Pulled is the thing we wish we'd had.
Things we want you to know up front.
This is a bureaucratic, legal-adjacent process. We'd rather lose your business than be vague about how it works.
Purpose-built, not general AI.
We built a dedicated drafting system for this specific form, shaped by real approved NZ applications, the official MoE guidance, and everything we've learned about what assessors look for. It generates a first draft from your answers. A parent on our team reads every word before it reaches you. It sounds like you because it was built from your words.
Identifying details out before AI sees anything.
Before your answers are processed, your child's name, any email addresses, and phone numbers are automatically removed and replaced with placeholders. A human restores them when reviewing your draft.
We're not the Ministry.
Pulled is a private service. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the Ministry of Education. We just know the form well.
MoE asks for disclosure, and we help with it.
The application form has a tickbox for “received help”. We give you the disclosure text to use. It's normal, expected, and not a problem.
No approval guarantees, ever.
The decision is the Ministry's alone. What we promise is a strong, considered application written in your voice.
