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… read more “You can achieve a lot more when you love to learn”

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.  It has left such an imprint on our psyches, our spirits, our hearts. We will always consider… 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.  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.  My daughter graduating from Year 12 with a tremendous result including one of 20 state wide awards for Design and Technology.

I would rather come to school than have weekends or school holidays.

I started Steiner 2 years ago, discovering new friendships, new amazing teachers, new ways of learning and even a new awesome bus driver.  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.  Really enjoyed being… read more “I can’t believe how much I have learnt”

I find it hard to explain what this school is like to people who haven’t gone through themselves, but when I try to, three words come to mind:  friendship, family and love.  I will miss all the crazy memories we have shared together as a family and these memories I will never forget.  Thank you. 

I was just reading the article on the NAPLAN results. As a Steiner parent, I obviously don’t 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 performed…My main reason for sending… I just wanted to encourage Rosemary and all the CCSS staff…you all do an amazing job…I love my kids being at the school, the care is second to none and now it’s proven that the education is first rate.read more “I love my kids being at the school”
