Principal's Address
The waves of warmth
That strongly through the land are radiating, spreading,
Proclaim that we
To glorious, golden days of summer-sun are heading.
"Be filled with light!"
My spirit understands these words which Nature everywhere is showing.
"Let thoughts take flight!"
My heart is told; "Be never earthbound but be always changing, growing!"
Dear GHSS Families,
Spring Fair was another huge success for our school. We were blessed with glorious weather. A number of staff, children and families were absent due to illness which was such a shame, but the show must go on and go on it did! This would not have been possible without the assistance of so many families. So a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. And to the staff who pitched in to assist with running stalls and manning classrooms, thank you also. Finally, I have to acknowledge the incredible Laura Egan and Kate Groves. This dynamic duo backed up last years tremendous effort, for another awesome year of making it happen. Thank you for your energy and amazing contribution to this event and the school.
Our Birak Concert takes place this Friday afternoon, December 8th. The concert will be in place of our usual Friday morning assembly. We invite our families to join us beneath the shade of the trees in front of Class 1 at 1.15pm to take part in our festive community gathering to sing out the 2023 school year.
K6 Stepping Stones Graduation will take place on the morning of Wednesday December 13th at Karri Kindy.
Class 6 Graduation takes place on the morning of the last day of school, Thursday, December 14th, starting at 9am in the school hall.
End of This Year... The final day for students will be Thursday December 14th. We wish all our families the very best for a restful and restorative summer break and look forward to welcoming you back in 2024. For those departing, we wish you all the very best.
As of this morning, many of you will be aware that I have stepped down from my position as Principal at Golden Hill Steiner School in order to focus on family and personal matters. It has been an honour to have held this postion for the last seven years. It has certainly not been without its trials in that time. However the postitive achievements and the fabulous staff and students that I work with each day has certainly made it all worthwhile.
A Steiner Education is a gift to your child. I am so grateful to have had the chance to gift one to my child and to witness your children benefit from the same.
...and the Start of Next Year for students will be Wednesday, January 31st. The school office will be open from January 17th.
