No worries, I hope it helps him keep his hand in without overwhelming him. They look expensive at Officeworks but a bit cheaper on Thrift Books. Perhaps you can find some old ones on Ebay, or free legal PDFs? Perhaps by getting past papers from tutoring sites or some such. I googled ā€˜naplan books pdf free legalā€™ and saw stuff like that but Iā€™m not sure which are legit. Thereā€™s also ā€˜free study material for homeschooling australiaā€™ to try.

If all else fails there used to be Educationalā„¢ļø computer games. When I was little they used to be things like Math Blaster or Lost Secret Of The Rainforest but surely thereā€™s something more modern.

Also seriously work together with the school and see if you can get some leeway on this (if you havenā€™t already) because unless heā€™s attending or being homeschooled there could be strife. Even if Mr P is feeling really unwell he could rest on the couch while Eldest works his way through something, and Eldest can get a reward for each completed page. (The reward heavily depends on his age.)

But even if Mr P can do that much definitely access social workers and/or respite care in any way you can, whether it be through the council, Human Services, or Peter Mac. Youā€™re going through some heavy stuff and nobody is meant to do this much alone.
