The light rains down.  My king, in this late-summer hour,

You reign within my heart as well, with growing power.

You shine with strength.  You gleam and glance and glisten.

You lead me into depths where I, within the silence, learn to listen.

And there you form life's fruits, fruits good to eat,

In weaving soul-light warm, where they grow ripe and rich and sweet.

Dear Families and Friends of Golden Hill Steiner School,

Welcome to our first Golden Quill of the term.  All classes have started the year well as can be seen from the articles submitted this fortnight.

School photos Photo day ran smoothly last week.  Given the short notice we all had of our scheduled day, MSP photography has extended the order cut off date.  All orders are to be made online using your unique shoot key that each family received by email and text on Tuesday of last week.  To avoid an archive charge being added, please ensure you place your order by February 23rd.  Should you have any questions in relation to ordering, please contact MSP Photography direct on 9240 8000. 

Hats, Shoes and Hair A timely reminder that, as per our Dress Code, children must wear a hat during terms 1 & 4.  Children are expected to wear footwear in the playground and should wear covered shoes for those days that they have woodwork or gardening.  Students with hair longer than shoulder length must wear it tied back.  Thank you for assistance in reinforcing these guidelines with your children.

Board Members Golden Hill Steiner School is goverened by a School Board.  We are currently seeking interested community members who would like to contribute to the school by becoming a board members.  Board members assist in guiding the direction of the school and supporting the Principal in their task of managing this.  It requires attendance at 6 meetings per year.  Other support is offered by correspondence through email and the Board Chair meets with the Principal on a regular basis.  Please contact the school office or Board Chair, David Stockdale for further information if you are interested and able to contribute. 

P&F Thank you to those parents who have taken on the role of Class Carer for the classes this year.  To support the Class Carers and the school it would be great if we could establish our P&F again.  This requires 3 parents who are happy to take on the executive roles of P&F President, Secreatry and Treasurer.  If this is something you feel you have the skills and time for, please let Jacqui know so we can call a meeting in Term 1 and get our P&F happening.

High School Our first High School Planning Committee meeting is scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, February 22nd.  We have gathered a diverse group of people with a variety of experience and skills to get the ball rolling with this exciting new chapter for Golden Hill Steiner School.  We are working towards a launch date for Class 7 in February 2022.  Watch this space for updates!

Warmest regards,

Jacqui Hamblin

Principal
