It's good you're here
A day in a Steiner primary classroom begins with an individual welcome for each student expressed through a simple handshake or other warm greeting: the class teacher is a stable, continuing presence is the child’s life, and the mood is “It’s good you’re here!”, a positive affirmation of the child’s unique individuality.
Morning circle
The teacher gathers the class to begin the day with movement, singing, speech and a mindful moment.
Main Lesson
Main Lesson themes take the class through to morning break: for more details on this form of inspired learning that forms the core of the academic program in a Steiner school see the Main Lesson page.
Weekly Rhythm
Following the morning break, the class undertakes a series of shorter periods in the weekly rhythm of learning in specialist lessons covering all subjects of the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework.
Farewell
The day ends with a farewell for each student as they leave for home after a day of rich, arts-integrated learning.
