Transitional Leadership Team<br />
Last Friday saw the first meeting of the Transitional Leadership<br />
Team.<br />
In the new organisational structure, the Leadership<br />
Team is made up of the Director, the 2<br />
Education Administrators, the Business Administrator<br />
and the Chair of College.<br />
Until all these new roles are filled there will be a<br />
Transitional Leadership Team consisting of Joan<br />
Weir, Connie Grawert, Julie Lovett, Robyn Maggs,<br />
Jas Lal and Liz Morrell- those in current roles most<br />
closely matching the new structure. This group will<br />
meet weekly on a Friday.<br />
At the first meeting the team clarified the purpose<br />
of the group – in essence to provide a communication<br />
link across all management aspects of the<br />
Class 12 Graduates<br />
school, to share issues, prioritise and delegate so<br />
that the operational functioning of the school is<br />
smooth and effective.<br />
We also discussed the need for a review of the<br />
High <strong>School</strong> as it is now 5 years since the High<br />
<strong>School</strong> was started and hence the end of the first<br />
full cycle. A High <strong>School</strong> Research Group will be<br />
established this term to work into the review.<br />
It feels wonderful to start implementing the new<br />
organisational structure and Friday’s Leadership<br />
Team meeting was very positive.<br />
Joan Weir<br />
Transitional Manager<br />
This year there are 10 students graduating from Class 12. Over<br />
the next few weeks we will be introducing them to you as well<br />
as walking down memory lane with them.<br />
I<br />
have started with the 4 students that will be the<br />
first, and the only group to ever be the first, that<br />
have completed their Primary and Secondary<br />
education at <strong>Samford</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Steiner</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Joel<br />
Lindsey, Enya Crockford and Michael Smith all<br />
started at <strong>Samford</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Steiner</strong> <strong>School</strong> in 1997 in<br />
their first year Preschool and Bronte Salmond who<br />
started in 1998 in second year Preschool.<br />
I spent 15/20 minutes with this wonderful group of<br />
young adults chatting about memories from their<br />
Preschool years – it was a delightful and humorous<br />
20 minutes – I will miss them and wish them well!<br />

Memories from Preschool from a Class 12 perspective<br />
Bronte: Being outside.<br />
All: Walking to the creek.<br />
What was your most<br />
memorable time in<br />
preschool?<br />
Bronte: The boys digging under the fence.<br />
Enya: Walking into the wrong room after<br />
playing outside – it was a bit scary – I<br />
did not know any of the kids.<br />
All: Winter spirals<br />
Bronte: I tried to keep my apple forever!<br />
Michael: Playing with Robbie and listening<br />
to him sing, he always sang – like<br />
karaoke.<br />
Was there anything that<br />
you did not enjoy?<br />
All: The sleeping, some foods, the<br />
punishment – having to sit still in the<br />
kitchen.<br />
Do you remember which<br />
Preschool room you were<br />
in? Your Symbol? Anything<br />
about the rhythm of the<br />
days?<br />
Joel: Symbol?? Did we have a symbol?<br />
Where is the evidence of these symbols?<br />
The rooms did not have names but I was<br />
in the one closest to the school, Anne’s<br />
room<br />
Bronte: The furthest room and my symbol<br />
was the rainbow<br />
Michael: The room without the crane in it<br />
– I will find out what my symbol was.<br />
Enya: I was in the room that was closest<br />
to the gate; it was the one without the<br />
truck. My symbol was the butterfly.<br />
The rhythm of the day<br />
proved to be a bit more<br />
difficult to remember but<br />
there were certainly some<br />
fond and not so fond<br />
memories coming out<br />
regarding the preschool<br />
menu.<br />
Joel: I remember the eating yummy bread<br />
days and visiting the creek, also at the<br />
end of the day a rest.<br />
Bronte: I hated the rest!<br />
Joel: Was Tuesday apple crumble day? – I<br />
didn’t like apple crumble.<br />
Enya: No it was Thursday<br />
Enya: Rice pudding – horrible – I<br />
remember my friend and I locked<br />
ourselves in the toilet so we did not have<br />
to eat the rice pudding.<br />
Michael: One was Golden soup/golden<br />
mountain day – the golden mountain<br />
was made out of healthy stuff.<br />
Do you remember your first<br />
day?<br />
Enya: Yes, I was nervous at first, but felt<br />
better after seeing the other little kids<br />
and the toys that we could play with.<br />
Joel: I remember the interview but not the<br />
first day, I thought that my first day would<br />
be a lot later then it was.<br />
Joel: Class 1 was far away and they were<br />
so big.<br />
Enya and Bronte: the slats on the bridge<br />
to Class 1 seemed so big that they<br />
thought they might fall through them.<br />
What was your favourite<br />
activity?<br />
Enya: Now it would be the sleeping but at<br />
the time I hated it, my favourite was the<br />
stories and the puppet show.<br />
Joel: Digging a hole out of the preschool,<br />
we used to be allowed to dig so far and<br />
then we had to stop and the teachers<br />
would fill it in again, once we did dig<br />
the whole way out and when we got out<br />
we were not sure what to do, so we went<br />
back in again.<br />
Michael & Joel: Building things out of<br />
wooden blocks.<br />
What do you miss about<br />
those Preschool years?<br />
Enya: The sleeping.<br />
Joel: No homework.<br />
Michael: No expectations.<br />
All said it was a place to go and have fun.<br />
Complete this sentence<br />
“When I think of Preschool<br />
I…”<br />
Joel: I think of little people, doing naughty<br />
things.<br />
Later on Joel said: I can see that<br />
Preschool helps to cultivate the mind,<br />
body and spirit<br />
Bronte: I think of a warm welcoming place<br />
that really nourishes and prepares you<br />
for school, it is a nice step between<br />
being at home and school.<br />
Enya: I think of lots of colours, having fun,<br />
all the small things seemed AWE -some–<br />
i.e. the successful building of a sand<br />
castle, the blooming of the flowers<br />
Michael: I think of doing without thinking –<br />
we could just be kids, no responsibilities.<br />
Do you remember your<br />
Preschool teacher? And<br />
what do you remember<br />
about them?<br />
Joel: Anne Anderson & Marilou and<br />
Madonna Bailey –I remember them all<br />
being kind and caring.<br />
2 the newsletter n term 4 week 2 n Friday 15October 2010<br />
<strong>Samford</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Steiner</strong> <strong>School</strong>
Bronte: Anne Anderson – I used to think<br />
that Marilou was the teacher and not<br />
the assistant – I remember the home<br />
visit, Marilou came first and when Anne<br />
turned up. I could not work out why she<br />
was there as well.<br />
Enya: Connie Grawert (teacher) &<br />
Jackie/Karen/ Marg sometimes Maria<br />
(assistants) - I remember Connie being<br />
American, she was nice, always wore a<br />
dress or a skirt, always dressed up.<br />
Michael: They were all nice – Marilou and<br />
Anne were the main ones, I remember<br />
Connie being around.<br />
Looking back from your<br />
18 year old perspective do<br />
you have anything that you<br />
would like to say to your<br />
teacher?<br />
Bronte: Thanks! And sorry! It was a great<br />
stepping-stone to Class 1.<br />
Joel: Cheers and thanks for everything.<br />
Enya: Thanks for giving me a great start to<br />
my 14 years of education.<br />
Michael: Great place to start my<br />
education, Thanks!<br />
Again looking back<br />
from your 18 year old<br />
perspective is there<br />
anything you can see that<br />
you have taken away from<br />
those Preschool years?<br />
Enya: The importance of tidying up.<br />
Monday (rice pudding) = bad, Thursday<br />
(apple crumble) = good<br />
Bronte: Lasting relationship with the<br />
teachers and with my peers – I will leave<br />
the school with long lasting friendships.<br />
Michael: Creativity, problem solving, using<br />
logic.<br />
Joel: I think that it has shown me how<br />
to nurture, the Preschool provided<br />
nourishment and care for us all and<br />
in turn this has taught me how to be<br />
nurturing and caring.<br />
Three of you have been<br />
at <strong>Samford</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Steiner</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> since your first year<br />
of Preschool and one from<br />
second year Preschool –<br />
how does it feel to be at<br />
the end of your elementary<br />
education – going all the<br />
way through at SVSS?<br />
Joel: We are the first!<br />
Enya: Its hard to comprehend – we happen<br />
to be the first in the school’s 23 years of<br />
it providing education – I feel fortunate.<br />
Michael: We have grown close together<br />
– and we feel that we know how the<br />
school has grown; we have been a part<br />
of this growth and the school will always<br />
be a part of us. I am excited about the<br />
future.<br />
Bronte: I feel a big part of the school and<br />
the growth of it, we have seen the High<br />
<strong>School</strong> grow, it is more then just a school<br />
– it is our school.<br />
Memories from the Preschool teachers<br />
Anne Anderson: I feel that<br />
I am very fortunate to<br />
have known these three<br />
Class 12 students since<br />
they began their education<br />
in the Preschool as 4 and<br />
5 year olds. Joel Lindsey<br />
and Michael Smith began<br />
their journey at SVSS in<br />
1997 and soon became<br />
good friends. Bronte began<br />
in 1998, the same year<br />
that Marilou became my<br />
assistant. I would like to<br />
share some of the personal<br />
qualities I observed in<br />
the children prior to<br />
their Primary education,<br />
qualities that may still be<br />
apparent:<br />
Michael Smith (22/3/92)<br />
Symbol: mushroom<br />
• Quiet and reserved, a popular child<br />
who was eagerly sought out by others;<br />
either in play or just to sit next to.<br />
• Michael had a calming influence on his<br />
peers.<br />
• His strong imagination and creative<br />
abilities attracted others to him, seeking<br />
new ideas and direction for building.<br />
• Had a very steady hand to balance<br />
blocks and bamboo to build intricate<br />
patterns and constructions.<br />
• Enjoyed painting and showed an interest<br />
in forming rich secondary colours.<br />
• Know what he wanted to paint/draw<br />
and worked hard to achieve his desired<br />
outcome. When finished Michael liked<br />
to describe his artwork.<br />
Bronte Salmond (11/4/92)<br />
Symbol: rainbow<br />
• Had a willingness to accept others into<br />
her games.<br />
• A cheery personality, often liked to sing<br />
while playing.<br />
• Graceful and well coordinated, enjoyed<br />
the challenge of accomplishing new<br />
movements in morning circle and<br />
Eurythmy.<br />
• Careful with her paintings and very<br />
selective with her ideas and the motifs<br />
she chose.<br />
• Good friends with Amelia, who she<br />
shared the same birthday with. They<br />
often set up and presented puppet<br />
shows.<br />
• A confident child who could express<br />
herself verbally.<br />
• Liked to organise others into big group<br />
games.<br />
Joel Lindsay (5/5/92)<br />
Symbol: Star<br />
• A compassionate child who was often<br />
concerned about the wellbeing of other<br />
children and liked to include them in his<br />
play.<br />
• Could be very determined to get his own<br />
way.<br />
• This strong determination helped Joel to<br />
become an astute problem solver. He<br />
would just keep trying to build complex<br />
towers and patterns, never giving up<br />
until he achieved his goal.<br />

<strong>Samford</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Steiner</strong> <strong>School</strong>
• Joel and Michael spent many play times<br />
forming pathways from shells and seeds<br />
into different patterns.<br />
• Joel’s vivid imagination and attention to<br />
detail bought many creative ideas into<br />
the room during play.<br />
• Joel was always persistent in seeking<br />
the answers to quite often-profound<br />
questions.<br />
(Joel and Michael are still good friends to<br />
this day)<br />
All children were enthusiastic participants in<br />
the Preschool. These 3 children were part<br />
of a group who set a very high standard<br />
with their capabilities in art, craft and play<br />
– a ‘hard act’ to follow for future Preschool<br />
classes. Marilou and I often reflect on how<br />
this group has strengthened our own teaching<br />
values and so we’d like to thank them for<br />
giving us so many joyful experiences.<br />

Library<br />
Connie Grawert A profile<br />
of Enya as I remember her<br />
in Preschool:<br />
Enya Crockford<br />
Symbol: Butterfly<br />
• Enya always loved horses, even back<br />
in Preschool. I was amazed when she<br />
began drawing horses at such a young<br />
age. She often played horses outside<br />
with the other girls.<br />
• Enya tended to be shy to the point of<br />
being timid and softly spoken. I wrote a<br />
birthday story for her, which I published<br />
in the storybook “Earthy Delights” about<br />
a child that overcomes her fear and<br />
makes friends with a possum.<br />
• Her imagination was expressed in rich<br />
play and drawings. She was competent<br />
and enjoyed craft.<br />
• Enya was always one of the reliable and<br />
helpful children in the class.<br />
• It is such a pleasure for me to see how<br />
she has grown to become a self-assured<br />
and confident person.<br />

Updates<br />
Class 1<br />
In Class 1 we are learning the lower case<br />
(little brother) letters and hearing stories<br />
from the Dreamtime. We have been going<br />
for weekly bushwalks since the beginning of<br />
the year and this term, we are also adding<br />
weekly gardening sessions to our outdoor<br />
education. We are coming along nicely with<br />
our recorders and can now play seven songs!<br />
We are working up the courage to play them<br />
for an audience.<br />
So many of us are losing our baby teeth,<br />
and Jill says she thinks we grew at least a<br />
few centimetres over break. We continue to<br />
have Eurythmy and German subject lessons,<br />
and we must be getting bigger because this<br />
term we were surprised to learn we now have<br />
a pianist to play beautiful music for us during<br />
Eurythmy! Thank you, Linda.<br />

<strong>Steiner</strong> Language Teachers Conference<br />
During the last school holidays, the <strong>Steiner</strong> Language<br />
Teachers’ Conference was held in Canberra at the<br />
beautiful Orana <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Claudia and I attended the three days<br />
of lively and informative learning<br />
and networking workshops.<br />
The program included lectures about the<br />
anthroposophical understanding of the child<br />
and language teaching, participatory model<br />
lessons and networking. The format used was<br />
that parts of language lessons demonstrated<br />
over the three days were presented in one<br />
of the 7 languages taught by teachers at the<br />
conference.<br />
As participants, we ourselves became language<br />
learners.<br />
We enjoyed the whole conference very much<br />
and came home with lots of new ideas for<br />
our own teaching.<br />

group co-ordinator at the end of this term<br />

be clever or crafty – just a good co-ordinator<br />

hand. All you really need is a bit of space to<br />
store the dozen or so boxes of craft stuff and<br />
a decent sized boot!<br />
