Natural materials speak to the soul of the child.

At our Kura, the wool is tailor hand-dyed for the different projects that the students make in their Handwork lessons. The students play an active part in selecting colours, spinning the wool dry and spinning the skeins into balls of wool.

By being actively involved in the process, the students form an appreciation of the process and take more ownership in how they use the materials. Later in life, the natural materials will speak to the moral compass of the individual, forming a love for the world and all things good and beautiful.

The stairs to the school art room give us a ‘bird’s-eye view’ of this sweet family of blackbirds. Students and staff alike have been enjoying following their progress. Dad can often be found freely foraging in the staff room for tasty morsels.

We ended Term 3 by celebrating the arrival of spring, leaving our hearts full and our spirits uplifted as we head into the holidays. 🌼🌿
May this break be a time of rest, renewal, and connection – with nature, with whānau, and with the quiet moments that allow us to reflect and grow. We look forward to welcoming our students back, refreshed and ready for the next stage of our journey together in term 4.

Today, our school gathered to celebrate the joy and renewal of the Spring (Kōanga) Festival. In Waldorf education, observing the changing seasons connects us to nature’s rhythms and inspires a sense of wonder and growth. 🌸✨
In our kindergarten, children and whānau began the day weaving beautiful flower into crowns made from harakeke, embracing the spirit of spring with creativity and care. After a shared morning tea, they filled the air with song, while our older tamariki played their handmade pūrerehua, welcoming the new season with harmony and heart.
