As we ease into the weekend, we hope everyone can take some time to rest and relax...🌿

There is so much happening at school over the next few weeks. Keep your eyes on our school newsletter, or on our socials for regular updates!

But for now, enjoy the wattle blooming, the daylight lasting a little longer, and the signs of the Spring that is coming 🌼🪻💐

Around the world, one meal at a time 🌏🍴

As part of our High School curriculum, students have been taking part in "Round the World with Cuisine".

Each week brings a new cuisine to explore, with students working together to prepare an entrée, main and dessert. Along the way they learn new cooking techniques, encounter different flavours and discover foods from cultures around the world.

After that comes perhaps the most important part: sitting down together to share the meal 🥘

Students share what they have made, talk about the techniques they used and reflect on what they enjoyed (and perhaps what they wouldn’t rush to make again!).

With simple, accessible ingredients and recipes students can recreate at home, these lessons are about much more than cooking. They are an opportunity to work together, try something new, build practical skills and enjoy the simple pleasure of sharing good food around a table.

🌿 Wondering what Kindergarten looks like in a Steiner school?

Come along to our Kindergarten Parent Information Night and discover how the early years at The Armidale Waldorf School lay strong foundations for later learning.

Our Kindergarten teacher will share how play, movement, stories, creativity and practical experiences support the development of the skills children will draw upon as they move into more formal academic learning, as well as what families can expect from the transition to school.

There will also be plenty of time to ask questions about school readiness, literacy and numeracy, the Kindergarten day, and the Steiner approach to learning.

Families with young children aged 0–6 are warmly welcome, whether you’re preparing for Kindergarten in 2027 or simply beginning to explore your options.

🕕 Wednesday 19 August, 6–7pm
📍 Kindergarten Room, The Armidale Waldorf School
278 Rockvale Road, Armidale

We proudly offer Steiner education from Preschool through to Class 12, supporting children through each stage of their learning and development.

NAIDOC 2026 🖤💛❤️

On Friday, our school community gathered to celebrate NAIDOC 2026 and reflect on this year’s theme, 50 Years of Deadly.

We began the day with a beautiful Welcome to Country, before students moved through a range of activities centred around stories, history, craft and culture. Across the school, there were opportunities to listen, learn, create and reflect together.

After a shared BBQ lunch, we gathered with Aunty Narelle Holden, Shannon Smith and AJ Smith, who spoke with students and generously shared cultural dances with our school community.

It was a special day of learning, connection and celebration, and we are very grateful to everyone who shared their time, knowledge and culture with us. A big thank you also to Aunty Raylene, Aunty Sharon and our RAP team for bringing such a meaningful day together 💚💙🖤🤍
