Festivals, parent get-togethers and activities around the School, Kamaroi has a full calendar of events.
Our Parent Education Program offers a range of talks and workshops on a variety of topics throughout the year. Subjects covered include child development, holistic living, media and anthroposophy.
Whenever possible talks and workshops are offered free of charge to parents and friends. Occasionally some sessions attract a nominal fee. Costs are clearly indicated in the program when advertised.
The Steiner Curriculum brings a health-giving consciousness to support the human journey through birth to adulthood. Individual free thought, discernment, and independence are nurtured by subtle transformations of sense-life experiences. Join us in exploring the way Steiner Main Lessons work with the 12 senses to harmonise the developing inner life of our young people.
Thursday 15th May at 7.30pm via Zoom
The human story as a context of meaning for life.
Ancient Egypt
In our time, young people are increasingly experiencing a loss of meaning in their lives. In this series of online presentations, Bernadette White will look at the temple wisdom, art, and mythologies of ancient and medieval cultures to unfold the hidden currents of history and in particular the role of the ancient Mysteries. We will explore how new spiritual impulses entered the stream of human evolution and how, through these Mystery teachings, the future has been prepared.
Having worked as a class teacher, teacher educator, story-teller, and student of history, Bernadette will show how this unfolding of the human story can give a context of meaning within which we can find direction and hope for our lives. Particular examples will be given from the Steiner school main lessons devoted to ancient mythologies and histories. We begin with Ancient India and Persia and continue through 2025 with Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and beyond.

In our time together Sandra will address questions such as ……..
How can we enjoy making and maintaining a garden with children - balancing getting work done with playfulness and having fun.
How do we engage children of different ages ?
How do we meet children’s resistance ?
How do we find confidence in ourselves even if we have a ‘brown thumb’?
How do we engage in ‘the magic and the mystery’ of nature - looking, listening, feeling, tasting, considering?
What is living in the garden? What is it telling us about itself and its neighbours?
Sandra will talk about all the things we can do in the garden:
Making soil, composting worm farms, fertilisers, rock dust, aerating, pruning, planting seeds and seedlings, pest management, mulching, harvesting & cooking.
There will be plenty of time at the end for us to bring questions of our own
