  • Loved my Steiner education

    Loved my 13yrs at Glenaeon in the 70s and 80s. Naturally sought a Steiner education for my children but discovered not all Steiner schools are the same. My oldest was treated terribly in the Byron Steiner because of the lack of training and skill by travers and principals, it was dogmatic and controlling. First time I understood why it has a cult reputation. Glenaeon had been nothing like this. Luckily we persisted, moved to Melbourne for a really incredible Steiner school and everything that Gl... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pioneering Parents: “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained!”
Q: How did the Main Lesson approach influence Joanna's learning and engagement?
The Main Lesson blocks were valued for their ability to hold together diverse topics and develop sustained interest, with songs and narrative used to anchor knowledge across a year and through to graduation.
Pioneering Parents: “Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained!”
Q: What prompted your daughter to switch schools, and how did you approach finding a new place to send her?
Joanna expressed she wouldn't return to the previous school; the family, being involved in education, explored several options and visited Waldorf and other schools to assess fit before choosing Mt Barker Waldorf School.
A Rich World of Learning: The First Year in a Steiner School
Q: What makes the Steiner kindergarten day unique in its rhythm and activities?
The day centers on a predictable, structured rhythm that blends indoor and outdoor environments, circle songs, and domestic activities; learning happens through daily life tasks like cooking, cleaning, and gardening, with an emphasis on open-ended play that quietly yields mathematical and linguistic understandings.
From Addiction to Actively Managing: Children and Screens
Q: How can families build a positive culture around screens and limit their negative effects?
Develop a rhythm for family life, create screen-free zones and activities, involve children in chores and family routines, and cultivate experiences in nature and with friends to ensure there are meaningful alternatives to screen time.
From Addiction to Actively Managing: Children and Screens
Q: What practical first steps can parents take to manage screen use at home?
Model how you use devices, set clear boundaries and do not run decisions on the fly; use 'living out loud' to explain when you pick up a device, implement a regular 100% attention period with children, and establish do-not-disturb blocks to protect family time.
