“We have reached a huge milestone and are looking at being able to provide the school with leadership including 22 years experience is Steiner education.”

Ms Verri also said the info session will allow parents and guardians to learn about Steiner Education and how it all works.

“It will be all about meeting and learning more about what Steiner has to offer,” she said.

“We will go through what the curriculum looks like and how it meets the needs of all children in a hands-on holistic curriculum.

“The man focus of Steiner is learning through doing; not just sitting at a desk being fed information but processing and learning through doing and actions.”
