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.

Dear GHSS Families,

Djeran-Autumn Festival is tomorrow!  We look forward to welcoming our Golden Hill community to the school from 10.30am tomorrow.  We will gather in the hall to celebrate the change of season with story, verse and song.  Families are reminded to bring their contribution for the Harvest table - produce from the garden or wholesome stores from the pantry.  Your kind donations will be gifted to the Denmark Community Collective to be distributed to families in need throughout our local community. 

Children will then progress in mixed age teams through a series of courage challenges.  The theme of courage, challenge and teamwork is designed to awaken the "will" in our children.  The activities are planned and enacted to encourage imagination, initiative and teamwork - qualities that provide us the hope and inspiration to overcome our limitations.

We will end the day with our Class 4 -7 students walking the rope bridge down by the creek.  I look forward to seeing you all in your Autumn colours tomorrow!

Steiner Education Rebranding Survey Steiner Education Australia is working on rebranding Steiner Education and they need the help of parents who have chosen this wonderful education to share their thoughts on what drew you to Steiner.  Please take the time to complete their survey.  There is a link further in the newsletter.  Please don't delay in giving your valuable feedback as the survey closes this Friday, March 31st. 

Last Day of Term Thursday April 6th is the last day of Term 1 in time for Easter, with Good Friday on April 7th.  Students return on Monday April 24th (followed by ANZAC Public Holiday on April 25th) and back on the 26th.  We wish all our families a relaxing family time together and look forward to welcoming you back in Term 2!
