🧵✨ On Saturday we welcomed five participants to our beginners’ sewing parent education workshop. Together they learned practical tips and skills, and the results were these fabulous fabric baskets!

Fun and simple to make, these baskets are perfect for holding toys, crafts, or even as thoughtful handmade gifts. 🎁

He taonga te ako — learning is a treasure. 🌿 We love seeing our whānau come together to learn, share, and create. Keep an eye out for future parent workshops!

In this fast-paced, 45-minute abridged version, suitable for all ages, you’ll meet lovestruck mortals lost in the forest, feuding fairy royalty causing chaos, and a group of bumbling actors just trying to put on a play.

Join us for a hilarious and enchanting journey where nothing is quite as it seems, and dreams and reality blur under the midsummer moon.

🏠✨ Following on from our recent post about the Class 12 Architecture Main Lesson, it’s wonderful to see how these skills are nurtured as early as Class 3!
In their Shelters Main Lesson, Class 3 explored how a home is more than just shelter and protection – it is also a place where we nurture ourselves and those we love. Each student selected a traditional shelter from the cultures they have studied, then brought their project to life with creativity and care, using a variety of materials.
Ka pai, Class 3 – what beautiful work! 🌿💡

✨ 🎵 🎭 This week, we were privileged to host the Waldorf Wayfarers – a travelling group of 52 inspiring performers aged 9 to 83, visiting us from Australia, Taiwan, Japan, India, and Singapore.

Their energy and creativity lit up our kura, as they led workshops with our students and performed for both the lower and upper schools. Our tamariki were absolutely captivated by the music, movement, storytelling, and theatrical magic they brought to life.

The Wayfarers treated us to enchanting performances of Mythical Beasts and The Lord of the Rings – complete with costumed actors, choral singing, and vibrant narration.

🎶 Tonight they are performing a special choral and chamber orchestra concert at 6pm in the MPS Auditorium, open to all. Tickets on the door – $30 adult, $20 concession, $10 high school students, free for lower school students.🎵
