Open Afternoon and Bush Dance – October 19^thTo mark 100 years of Steiner / Waldorf Education, at Golden Hill we have decided to mark the auspicious occasion of the 100^th Anniversary by hosting an Open Afternoon on Saturday, October 19^th before the Bush Dance. Classes will be open and a program of presentations prepared between 4pm and 6pm. We would like all students to attend, and their family and friends join us also in celebration of Steiner education and our school. It is wonderful opportunity to showcase our school to the wider community and after the open classes and presentations, we can adjourn to the hall for an evening Bush Dance. Funds raised from the Bush Dance evening will be sent to support the Bona Fide Steiner Kindergarten in India, that we have a connection to through two staff members, Denise and Mary Lou.
