As we move into the season of Kambarang, the Hills are alive and abundant. The ground is still blanketed in winter greenery, the creeks are in full flow, and the flowers are in glorious bloom.

The last day of term was celebrated with the Bibra Lake campus, where we joined together in teams for the Michael Festival.
The festival calls on our courage, clarity, and inner strength - qualities that speak directly to young people as they step into new responsibilities and begin to shape their own path. For our young people, the theme of the festival offers a picture of how life’s “dragons” can be met with resolve, integrity, and an inner strength that is quietly forming through these years.

Last Friday, the growing body of Steiner School staff from across Western Australia gathered along the banks of the Helena River for Steiner Schools’ Day. The workshops and conversations reminded us of why we choose Steiner Education for our our work and for our own children. The learning that is brought is not rushed or fragmented, but approached with a rhythm that allows for concepts to be deeply absorbed and carried inwardly. In a world that moves quickly - this slower, more deliberate unfolding gives our young people the space to develop their own inner capacities and intellectual clarity.  

We wish all our families a restorative break, and look forward to welcoming everyone back next term with fresh energy and purpose.

Head of School

From deep in my heart this world I love -
The green, green hills and the mountains above,
The sea so blue and the sunlight gold,
And everthing that I behold.

And I become stronger as I grow,
For all of God's Angels are with me I know.
Angels of water, fire, earth and air,
Always stay by me. This is my prayer.
