West Coast Steiner School

[EduCativ]

Welcome to West Coast Steiner School, Nollamara. We are an independent primary school in Perth's northern suburbs and ten minutes from the Indian Ocean. We offer education from Playgroup to Class 6.

Working from the indications of Rudolf Steiner, we strive to educate the whole being of each child in head, heart, and hands. We envision this holistic education set within a community guided by goodness, beauty, and truth. Further, we seek to plant the seeds for our students to enter the changing world with purpose, as self-directed adults, with a lifelong love of learning, intellectually and spiritually free, socially responsible, and emotionally balanced.

Our vision highlights our purpose to provide a meaningful education that engages your child's "head, heart, and hands" within a robust and vibrant school community:

• Creating a warm, welcoming learning environment.
• Holistic learning, engaging the head, heart, and hands.
• Nurturing respect for self, others, and nature.
• Building confidence through a growth mindset.
• Developing the ability to persist and complete tasks.
• Dynamic and artistic teaching of academic content: math, literacy, languages, history, and earth sciences.
• Learning through the senses: strings program, fine handwork, drawing, painting, sculpture, and woodwork.
• Specialist movement programs: Bothmer and Eurythmy.

West Coast Steiner School is committed to being a Child Safe Organisation, taking a preventative and participatory stance on child protection issues and promoting a child-safe environment. At West Coast Steiner School, we believe that the Steiner educational philosophy helps guide children towards finding their authentic voice, developing their moral capacities, and nurturing their potential. We are committed to educating children and parents alike so that together we can build the next generation of balanced, creative, and socially responsible adults equipped with purpose and meaning in their lives.

Just over two decades ago, the West Coast Steiner School was established by a group of parents with a shared belief in the Steiner philosophy and the importance of holistic education for their children. We are celebrating more than 20 years of independent schooling and now provide a complete and authentic Steiner educational experience to children from Playgroup to Class 6.

Assisting our students to establish for themselves "a life of learning" is a philosophy that represents our purpose as a school, the promise to our students, and the desire of their parents. Our curriculum is holistic, formative, and relevant while also being practical and 'life' based. Its impact is not isolated to the short segment of life that students spend at our school.

We believe that its value is much greater than that. We strive to give our students the skills, knowledge, and awareness to thrive as free-thinking, socially committed adults who aspire to become the most accurate possible version of themselves.
