Our school - a unique interpretation

Rudolf Steiner’s indications for educational renewal as part of a general ‘cultural’ revolution provided the basis for the school’s impulse. Interpretations of our times, geographical location and student individualities is an ongoing process: in essence, a continually evolving union of our various cultural heritages with the elemental and natural forces of our place on the continent; a search for true local and national identity, within which we may find ourselves individually Australian. Fundamentally all educational practices are directed towards this end.

The Newcastle Waldorf School strives to be true to the human condition and archetypes represented in the natural world whilst consciously marrying this with the demands of our modern society.
