Here is the SEA website and their recent promotional work in which our school's students and alumni feature strongly.
https://www.steinereducation.edu.au/steiner-education/about-steiner-education/
You may recognise many of our students, parents and teachers.
It seems a good indication of fruitfulness.

  • The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz Anno 1459, 
  • Parzival The Quest for the Holy Grail Link
  • Twelve Aspects of Michael - contrasted by their Counter Images Link
  • Kasper Hauser, where did he come from? Link
  • The very old donkey written by Michael Hedley Burton, a children’s book for 4-8 year olds. 
  • There is also a wide range of cards and prints published by Wynstone Press

David has advised that children should not attend but high school students are welcome, provided that they are comfortable workshopping with adults and importantly, attend at their own free will.

(2) The Christian Community - 8 Montague St, Balmain - 4th - 5th March

Harmony Centre and Helios Health & Beauty Pty Ltd are proud co-sponsors of David's first visit to Australia! 

David, Frances (Harmony Centre) and I appreciate the ripples hitting the shoreline so soon. Bigger waves are coming!

Little Kindy Enrolments 2023

10/8/2022

1 Comment

 
Our Kindy program begins with Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for children that have already turned five or will turn five during the term.  Once children turn six they are required to attend five days a week, which may occur for some children in term four. As the year progresses, and as a transition to full attendance some in-between Kindy children may attend four or five days by individual arrangement with the kindergarten teachers. We generally accept new enrolments into Kindy in terms 1, 2 and 3. 

We will be holding our school tour and Kindergarten information talk at the end of August. If you would like an invitation, please complete the Enquiry Form, accessible from our Enrolments page.
