“.. to be able to ask who I am as a human being and crucially what I can create that uniquely expresses this deeper understanding of myself.”

In the life of a school, what happens for the graduating students is of immense interest. It is only 2 years until Parkerville Steiner College will have its first graduates. The Class 12's at the Bibra Lake campus are preparing and practising their presentations of their yearlong project. They will share the result of their quest to answer or understand a unique question they alone have explored.

You are warmly invited to join us at the Bibra lake campus to experience the culmination of our students’ year-long projects and be inspired by their passion and creativity.

The Human Being as Process 

Reflections on a visit from Jan Baker-Finch and Pacifica College 

At the end of last term a group of staff gathered for a quiet but memorable talk by Jan Baker-Finch, Head of Pacifica College, whose students were sharing memorable performances of eurythmy at schools across Australia. Jan spoke not about techniques or outcomes, but about being — what it means to live as a human in process rather than as a finished form. 

Through the lens of eurythmy, she described the human being as a constellation of interweaving forces: the physical, etheric, astral, and the I - the spiritual core that brings consciousness and direction to the whole human being. These layers, she suggested, are not abstract concepts but living realities that shape how we think, feel, and act. When they move in harmony, we experience presence - a fleeting but profound alignment where life feels fluid, creative, and whole. 

Jan’s words reminded us that we only ever partly know ourselves. Our self-knowledge grows in relationship, through encounters with others and through the shared work of community. She highlighted that each meeting becomes part of our biography - a space where something new can enter and transform both people. To meet another person in truth and with curiosity is to participate in evolution itself. 

This perspective resonates deeply with the work of education. Every classroom, conversation, and faculty dialogue becomes an opportunity to awaken the higher capacities of the human being, to balance thinking with warmth of feeling and steadiness of will. Education, seen this way, is a living art of alignment: holding structure while allowing movement; guiding without fixing; creating space where the human spirit can appear and grow. 

Jan Baker-Finch’s visit and the dynamic work of the Pacifica students, offered more than a performance and a talk. They offered a gesture: an image of how life itself moves through form and relationship. For that reminder, and for the stillness it left in the room, we are deeply grateful.
