Dear Families and Friends of Golden Hill Steiner School,

Term Three is filling fast with our next date for your diary fast approaching - School Photo Day! After feedback we received last year, the school has managed to secure the services of an alternative school photo company, MSP Photography.  Given the delays created by COVID-19 earlier in the year we have been lucky enough to secure their last available date of Friday August 28th - 3 Fridays from now!  Further details will be with you shortly.

Playgroup is back on again on Thursdays, in Silverbirch with Sophia.  Sessions are $12 per family for casual attendance or $90 if you enrol for the 10 week term.  We are gathering quite a crowd and will explore the option of a second playgroup day if numbers continue to grow.

Kylie's Nature's Nest shop is back up and running with new goodies arriving in store all the time.  It is a great place to gather on a Friday morning after assembly and perhaps we can look at re-establishing our Friday afternoon tradition of a treat after school and catch up for families?  By rostering each class once a term to bake some goodies and man a stall on the verandah of Peppermint Cottage on a fortnightly rotation we could have some fun and fundraise at the same time, with money going to P&F's Kitchen Garden Classroom project!  What does everyone think?

The P&F meeting would be a great place to discuss this further and their meeting is scheduled for Tuesday August 18th from 1.30pm - 2.50pm.  We will also be discussing thoughts on the Spring Fair with the dates coinciding with the new date for the Garage Sale Trail - opportunity to run a Spring Clean Fair perhaps?  All families are welcome to come along and share ideas and tasks and to welcome our new P&F members and committee reps, Heath and Via.

Class 2 and Class 5/6 are performing plays this term.  Check out the term planner and add the dates to your own calendars as you don't want to miss these events.  You can access our School Calendar by tapping the tile of the same name on the home page of the app or if you are looking at the newsletter on your laptop or PC then your are able to view the School Calendar by clicking on the link in the menu at the top of the page.

Spring Festival will take place at the end of term on Thursday, September 24th.  School wiill end at 1pm on that day to allow staff to travel to Perth for Steiner Schools Day on Friday where staff from Steiner schools across WA will engage in Professional Learning activities together.  Friday, September 25th will be a pupil free day.

Warmest regards,

Jacqui Hamblin
