Our Curriculum
I would rather come to school than have weekends or school holidays.
Ben, Year 6
I was just reading the article on the NAPLAN results. As a Steiner parent, I obviously donβt hold with the whole rote learning and teach to test philosophy of the main stream education system. These results are almost a vindication for us as parents, to see how strongly we performedβ¦My main reason for sending

our first child at the school there was the social aspect of Steiner and the value of the Cambodia excursion. Obviously the education was fine as he got selected for GHS on finishing year 10 at CCSS.I just wanted to encourage Rosemary and all the CCSS staffβ¦you all do an amazing jobβ¦I love my kids being at the school, the care is second to none and now itβs proven that the education is first rate.

I did not know it at the time, but my time at CCSS would facilitate a strong positive direction in life. There are many fond memories of baking bread with Jos in Kindergarten, listening to Jonathan’s amazing stories, and singing and using my body to learn. I was also very lucky to have the opportunity
…
to play guitar with Steve Smillie. All these things assembled a love of learning within me that has stuck with me throughout my life. More recently, I have been finishing off a Master of Organisational Psychology degree and building a career as a consultant in Sydney. My next goal is to complete a PhD in Pyschology. You can achieve a lot more when you love to learn.

I find it hard to explain what this school is like to people who havenβt gone through themselves, but when I try to, three words come to mind:Β friendship, family and love.Β I will miss all the crazy memories we have shared together as a family and these memories I will never forget.Β Thank you.Β
Luisett, Year 10
The students are all very happy, creative and well behaved.Β Students always smiled when anyone walked past and seem to treat each other very well and with respect.I loved how ideas were formed instead of pushed onto the students.Β You can tell there is a lot of reflective practice, which I consider quality teaching.
Miriam, Student Teacher
The past 14 years of my two children attending the school from Kindergarten right through to Year 10 has been such a wonderful experience, not only for my children but for myself and our family as a whole.Β It has left such an imprint on our psyches, our spirits, our hearts. We will always consider

ourselves absolutely blessed to have been and will remain always a part of the Central Coast Steiner Community.I have been so proud of the fact that we were a part of the CCSS community receiving positive and praising feedback about my daughter and son throughout their growing up, from a range of people from both within and outside of the school.Β This includes also teachers and staff of the secondary schools they both transitioned to in Year 11. Here they have done and continue to do well.Β My daughter graduating from Year 12 with a tremendous result including one of 20 state wide awards for Design and Technology. They have grown into the very fine young people that I had hoped for and more. It was for this very reason that I chose to take the Steiner journey. For our family it was a decision that I have never regretted for one moment.I can only repeat what a wonderful journey it has been.Β Thank you to all.

Marshall & Elia, Parents
I started Steiner 2 years ago, discovering new friendships, new amazing teachers, new ways of learning and even a new awesome bus driver.Β I loved the out of class experiences especially the freedom that we experienced with nature at our camps. The massive wrestling match in the lake was heaps of fun.Β Really enjoyed being

given the opportunity to creatively use fire at fire twirling and also using my mind with a team to develop a successful stall at the mini-market.Β I canβt believe how much I have learnt about Science, different countries, beliefs, Gods and Goddesses. But now is the time I take this knowledge I know, and build onto it in high school.Β I am ready.
Noah, Year 6
The social skills of these teenagers astound me. It is clear these kids are supported and nurtured. They are inquisitive, communicative and eccentric young people.Β Not without their individual difficulties, but the general level of respect and attitudes are really admirable.The quality of the teaching I have experienced first hand here has really impressed

me.Β It is for the most part, significant and meaningful to students who all engage in their academic programs.After teaching and experiencing CCSS and the culture of the school; Steiner education certainly has definitely captured my deep attention.
Rebecca, Student Teacher
I’m sure Leo would be delighted to be with you forever. He has had such a wonderful experience with you that it is a rather bittersweet transition that we must make. As you’re well aware the first ten years of a child’s life are the most formative and we feel absolutely blessed to have had
