Always loved this man and his wild and free approach to life and caring for our earth. He was also a great dad (even if it involved whole blocks of chocolate! 😂). 20 years this month since he passed. RIP Steve. You were totally a legend ❤️

Love this! So glad there’s a whole growing movement of like-minded people who know the value of outdoor learning, especially as we’re now part of the south coast community….!

Fabulous news.👏👏👏

Update: our new location in the Jervis Bay region is blissful. It will take some time and lots of effort to start up any new nature-based programs here and I will provide details when this develops - but meanwhile, I just wanted to share the beauty of our new green space and our menagerie with you all…

We are moving south and Magic Fronds TreeSchool had the most magical week and a sweet farewell party complete with a fire, marshmallows, ponies, cats, dogs and yes, even our pet python, Jarrah.

Saying goodbye to all the beautiful families and children I have had the privilege of working with over the past few years was so hard - but so perfect, too. What an amazing community of wonderful people, many homeschooling their children in creative and innovative, child-led ways, many welcoming new additions to their young families, travelling, experiencing and sharing Steiner or other educational opportunities with us, and embarking on new adventures far and wide themselves.

I am so grateful to every one of you, and especially for trusting me with your smart, funny and unique little people. Thank you also for the incredible testimonies you are giving me. I have been tearful for days since sharing our last day. Thank you 🙏 thank you all so much ###

The end of an era as we leave beautiful Heathcote after four amazing years of nature based learning and play.

Drawing what we see walking on Dharawal country in nature (Scribbly gum trees, roots, leaves, wattle, fungi, Gymea lillies, caterpillars…) with a bit of tree hugging 🌳

Any weather outings! 🌧️ ☀️ The rain came down all week but we made the most of it, especially the bouts of sunshine, to go exploring, taking our four-legged friends with us. The creek was full of delightful miniature waterfalls and the children enjoyed measuring water depth with sticks and observing the other changes caused by weather. A stop in a bushland playground added to the fun!
