Dear GHSS Community Members, Families and Friends,

GHSS High School on the horizon

You have hopefully heard the exciting news!  Planning and preparations are in progress, and 2022 is set to be the pioneering year for our long-awaited high school.  We wish to ask for your help, to secure an opportunity to acquire land, to make this expansion into years 7 to 9, and hopefully beyond, a reality and a success.

Lot 1 … Field of Opportunity

The GHSS community has long envisioned a high school, with classrooms, amenities and sports oval, on Lot 1, Riverbend Lane.  Lot 1 is the vacant land adjacent to the school, where the ibis forage and the ponies graze.

This land belongs to the Denmark Shire.  If we can get our interest in acquiring this land acknowledged in the LPS (Local Planning Strategy) then it could be zoned for ‘educational use’.  This would give us a very good platform for negotiating with the Shire to lease or buy part or all of Lot 1 for our expansion. 

Upcoming LPS … together let’s have our say!

GHSS have put in a submission to ‘Have your say – Denmark in your hands’, which is part of the community consultation process for the LPS.  We would like to invite our school community, families and friends, to support this request.

Please consider emailing the Shire, as a Denmark resident commenting on the LPS.  Let the Shire know that you “support the Golden Hill Steiner School’s request to have their interest in acquiring Lot 1 recorded in the Local Planning Strategy, 2021”.

Email - enquiries@denmark.wa.gov.au

If you would like more information, please see the document attached with this email: Field of Opportunity Project Information, or contact us, details below, if you have any questions or concerns.

Also, if you do send a submission to Shire, consider letting us know so we can get an idea of the pulse of community opinion on this issue.

Many thanks for your support,

Lydia Kenyon and Silvia Lehmann
