Dear Parents,The Winter Festival is one of my favourites. At this time of year I am reminded of a song: “I go with my little lantern, my lantern is going with me. In heaven the stars are shining, on earth goes my lantern with me.” What a wonderful experience of the power of the light to shine through the darkness. Thank you in advance to all the teachers who help make this a special gathering. I look forward to marking the Winter solstice. Reminder Primary school children finish at 12:35pm and return to their classroom with parents at 4:30pm this Friday. High School students will stay at school, share soup and participate in activities to later join the whole school festival with song and fire dance. The Winter Festival is planned to conclude by 6:20pm. Please supervise children to join in the reverant experience.Thank you to everyone who helped support the Disco last Saturday night at Mount Barker hall. A special thanks to the 40/100 Committee and their helpers. What a wonderful opportunity to rekindle community in celebration of our 40 years at Mount Barker Waldorf School.

LAST DAY TERM 2

Liam DeerClass 12 Graduates

Hi, I’m Liam. I joined this class in Year Two so I’ve attended the school for 10 years. One of the best experiences and memories I’ve had at Mount Barker Waldorf would definitely have to be the camps. My favourite ones would have to be the Camel Trek in Year 7, Surveying in the Flinders in Year 10, Tasmania in Year 11, Scuba Camp at Yorkes in Year 12.My Year 12 Project is all about sculpting and carving wood. I am researching the effects that sculptures have on people and how wooden sculpture has evolved through history. I have started two of the four sculpting and carving projects I am planning on for my year 12 Project which means I am halfway to achieving my goal. I am also planning to create at least one sculpture for the school. I would like to bring the community together to create one big sculpture as a part of the community aspect of my project. I would like to see something unfold which involves more than one person. I am excited to see what transpires from so many people contributing!

The Hearth

Class 12 participated in a collaborative, team-building program at Tree Climb Adelaide. The course encouraged the students to be self-directed, supportive and help others in the group. Our students were required to be in touch with their brave and courageous self as they climbed the tree tops and leapt off platforms onto the flying fox. It was a fabulous way to put aside Year 12 pressures and laugh, and maybe even squeal, together.

Developing Resilience

Resilience has been described as the ability to bungee jump through life “This course is for families experiencing separation”

This session identifies family strengths both yours and your child’s. Topics covered will include:

What is it? How do you develop it? How do you know if your child is resilient?

(This course will help develop positive ways to help yourself and your child deal with hardship and to develop self-awareness to understanding emotions and reactions. It will help to build existing strengths and goal setting for growth.)

Bookings essential. Please contact Centacare on 8215 6700 or email your details to: [email protected]
