Winter Festival
Winter has well and truly arrived and as the icy blasts blow across the land, Jack Frost is becoming a frequent visitor to our gardens and classrooms. Winter is always a time of inward reflection and venturing courageously into the dark to seek an inner light. As the Winter equinox marks the shortest day and the longest night, in the Steiner tradition we celebrate the turning of the season as a community with our Winter Solstice celebrations.
This year we are once again grateful to continue the return of many opportunities to come together as a School community to share traditions and create new memories with one another. In the last few weeks, the Kindergarten children have been lovingly collecting seeds for Mother Earth’s grotto and the Class 1 and 2 children have completed the traditional spiral walk in the darkened space of the Drama Room. Across the Primary School, children have been busily preparing and making their lanterns in anticipation of the whole School Winter Festival this evening. Preparations for the Winter Festival have been underway for weeks and we look forward to sharing the festival with parents, carers and friends.
All families are warmly invited to attend the Winter Festival this evening, Friday 16 June. Students in Kindergarten to Class 6 are to be brought to classrooms by 5pm and parents are asked to be in place on the Top Oval by 5.20pm. The festival will commence with a lantern spiral walk followed by the Class 7 firestick performance. Primary School students are to be collected from classrooms at the conclusion of the festival.
