From the Administrator

AGM

On Tuesday 24th June, the school held its AGM. This mandated annual event provides the school with a chance to pause, reflect, celebrate and look to the future:

The evening provided insights into a diverse range of matters and attendees left with a clearer picture of the school as a place of education and community backed by financial resources and strong governance.

Brett Kranz-Little, Naomi Chapman and Kevin Mazzer were warmly thanked for their contributions to the Council as they stepped off the Council and we welcomed two new nominees Gosia Winter (current parent and teacher at PWS) and Samantha Robson (current parent at PSC).

Thank you to all involved in the AGM and especially thank you to our Chairperson, Dr Peter Finlay who will start his 3rd year as Chair and 8th year on the Council.

The following people were elected for the following year:

Office Holders:

Peter Finlay (Chair), Mark Edwards (Vice-Chair), Linda Baldwin (Secretary), Lisa Joy (Treasurer). 

Ordinary Councillors:

Samantha Robson, Gosia Winter, Mee Cheng Wong & Mark Phillips (College of Teachers appointment) 

School Break

While families will keep their children home from school over the next three weeks, before school resumes on 21st July, many of our staff will be working or attending Professional Development Opportunities.

  • Mid year Conference: This week, the high school staff from both campuses (50 people) gathered for three days for a series of workshops by Mike Dyson focusing on engaging students in meaningful conversations, and by Mark Phillips on the development of thinking.
  • National Teachers’ Conference by Steiner Education Australia: A number of staff are attending this high impact conference in Noosa, Queensland.

We look forward to seeing everyone back and refreshed next term. Stay very safe and hopefully spend time with your kids, in nature, at some point - the creeks are flowing in the Hills, winter beach walks are invigorating….

With much gratitude

O Nature, you are as a mother to me,
Giving me strength and nourishing me.
I feel you near me and nearer still.
You fill me with fire - how strong is my will!
To be doing what's good is what I desire,
And I shall, for I'm filled with God's heavenly fire.

by Michael Hedley Burton / verse no. 26
