FROM THE DIRECTOR
I warmly welcome everyone to a new year at SVSS. A special welcome to the new students and
their families who are joining this community for the first time. I hope your time here is even better
than what you are expecting, and that the educational journey is one of growth, challenges, joy and
enlightenment. Parents, please do not ever hesitate to ask questions, seek clarification, and give us
your opinions.
The holiday period has been a time of further improvements around the school. The Pre-school and
Primary classrooms and specialist rooms are now air conditioned. The High School Administration
has been relocated upstairs, thanks to the voluntary efforts of the staff in constructing walls and
painting, and the generous donation of all the materials by a parent. Classes 4 & 5 will, if we
eventually get some drying weather, enjoy a nice lawned area outside their rooms - we should find
much less sand and grit being brought into those rooms. Floors in quite a few rooms were given
new finishes and a number of classrooms have been repainted internally. A lot of work was done on
drains around the campus, which were soon after tested out by the heavy rainfall, and passed! The
rain has made the grass and lawn grow rapidly and just as rapidly Peter is now able to keep it under
control with a new, faster lawn mower. The new Pre-school deck is better protected now with the
installation of larger guttering and gutter-guard, preventing the regular overflow of water onto the
deck.
An exciting development this year is the introduction of our Outside School Hours Care Service.
After School Care (ASC) has commenced this week. The licence was received 2 hours prior to the
first session! Kylie Turner (Coordinator) and Assistants Emma Forsberg and River Petein, are keen
to provide an attractive environment and an enjoyable program to the children. Before School Care
(BSC) will commence as soon as we have an adequate demand to make it viable. Please advise
Kylie (oshc@samfordsteiner.qld.edu.au) if you are thinking about, or already needing, this service.
Vacation Care will commence in April.
I have attached some timely suggestions from Michael Grose, author of the parenting ideas

7 ways to make this year your child's best year ever at school...
A new school year means a fresh start for students. Regardless of your child‘s performance last year, they
start school with a clean slate. A break offers students the chance to begin new habits and adopt new
behaviours.
Here are seven ideas to help you make the most of the fresh start and make this year your child‘s best year
ever at school:
1. Commit to your child going to school every day on time. One of the most important things you can do to
ensure your child has a bright future is to make sure he or she goes to school every day – and gets there on
time. Kids spend more time asleep than at school, so we need to maximise every day to get full value.
2. Help kids start each day well. A good night‘s sleep, a healthy breakfast and some words of encouragement
from you will help set a positive tone for a day of learning. This may mean that you adjust your morning
routine so that kids have plenty of time get up, eat and get ready for the day.
3. Establish work & study habits. The most successful students are those that develop regular study habits
that suit their lifestyle, their study style and their school‘s expectations. Find out the work expectations from
your child‘s or young person‘s school and help them establish a work routine that matches.
4. Make sure your child gets enough sleep. Many children and young people are sleep-deprived, which
impacts on their well-being and their learning. A good night‘s sleep consolidates learning, as well as assist
future learning. Children need between 10-12 hours of sleep each day, while teens need a minimum of nine
hours. Help kids get sufficient sleep by having a regular bed-time and get-up time each day. Have 45 minute
wind-down time each night, and remove screens and mobile phones from bedrooms.
5. Encourage kids to exercise. Kids today get less exercise than those of past generations, which is an
impediment to learning and mental health. Health professionals recommend a minimum of 60 minutes of
exercise per day for kids of all ages. Encourage kids to play sport; promote free and active play and look for
ways to make moving part of their daily lives.
6. Focus on being friendly. Schools are very social places requiring kids to negotiate many different social
situations each day. Encourage kids to be open and tolerant; to be friendly; to be involved in plenty of
activities and to be social risk-takers.
7. Develop self-help skills. Successful students are often well-organised, self-directed and self-motivated.
You can foster organisational skills and self-direction by developing simple, age-appropriate self-help skills
related to their every day lives. Such skills as making lunches, packing school bags, and organising after
school schedules can be great lessons that impact on how kids perform at school. At the start of the school
year kids are more likely to adopt changes than at any other time. Make the most of the opportunity by
focusing on two or three areas to really focus on and you‘ll find that the rest will fall into place.

FROM THE EA’s
What a great start to the year on Monday; Preps with a picnic and Classes 1-12 in the Hall for the
Opening Ceremony, story and welcoming rose for Class 1. Visiting the Preschool on Tuesday, I
encountered a group of enthusiastic children who proudly announced, ―We are blossom and sun
children now!‖

Term 1 Week 1 3 February 2012
I would like to welcome new students and parents that have joined the school this year and wish
them well for the journey ahead. I look forward to meeting you at the Morning Tea at the Hub on
Friday 10 February after drop off. I trust you have been warmly welcomed by the school
community and that your children have quickly settled in to new routines.
Pre-preps will soon be experiencing their first school attendance, Class 1 begins the class teacher
cycle and Class 8 shall be readjusting to the demands of High School. The children and students
have been quick to settle in and can expect some engaging main lessons, plays, excursions, camps
and festivals throughout the year. From what I have seen the OSHC programme has also kept
children happily engaged.
The updated School Handbook has recently been emailed to parents and we hope that this helps
clarify policies and procedures and provides a handy reference. It is expected that parents attend
Parent Teacher Evenings over the next weeks; refer the newsletter for dates and times.
Thank you to the parents that have helped ease car park congestion by using the High School Car
Park. Swimming lessons begin in week 2 on Wednesday 8 Feb for Classes 3-7and will continue till
week 8. Meghan will be taking the lessons again this term.
The School Community Growers‘ Market begins on Friday 10 Feb 2:30pm and will run fortnightly
for Term 1. More information can be found further on in the Newsletter.
Recently, I have been reading a book called, ―Teach the Children Well‖ by Jonathan Anstock. This
sentiment is certainly at the heart of our school. All the best for the year!

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
Dear Parents and Friends
Welcome back to this New Year. I wanted to let you know about some of the happenings that took
place over the holidays here at school. Before Christmas, a group of High School teachers (Dave,
Mark, Ted and myself) donated their time under the guidance of John Salmond to put up new stud
walls in the old central classroom called Florence – where Maths was often taught under appalling
acoustic conditions. Most of the carpentry and plaster work was completed before Christmas with
quite a bit remaining. In the New Year, before school returned, the work continued sporadically
Page | 3

Term 1 Week 1 3 February 2012
and with some help from some tradespeople. Ted chose the brilliant colour scheme and there was a
big painting working bee a week before school returned. The last painting was done on the Saturday
night before students returned.
The materials for the project were generously donated by the Board President – Steve Havas. I
would like to thank all those who generously donated their time, expertise and energy to creating a
wonderful new staff room which is much more in touch with the students in the playground, an
office for Mercedes which is close to the car park and really at the hub of the high school activity,
an office for myself (thanks Mark for the help in remodelling Mercs old desk). In the process a new
class room (Florence) has been created downstairs which is acoustically marvellous, thermally good
and much better than the old Florence. In addition we have a new interview room and storeroom for
the High School.
There was a very successful Lighting and Sound workshop, organised by Janine Whitten and taught
by Paul Hunter during January over 3 days. Students who participated were Kane , Jordan Aguis,
Lynn, Freya and Bea from Class 8, Oliver B, Sminny and Jake from Class 9, Sam, Max and
Anthony from Class 10. Ted, Molly and Lindsey were staff members who completed the training.
We are fortunate as a school to have such a wonderful Hall and the lighting and sound infrastructure
to support very good performances, like the ones we ended the year with last year.
A number of primary teachers – Jill, Carla, Liz ,Chris B and myself attended the Glenaeon Intensive
week from Jan 9 -13. It was a very well attended and rich week with 150 teachers from all over the
country in attendance and special guests, Torin Finser from the USA, Robert Martin from
Melbourne and Bernadette Gaskin from Auckland, NZ.
Jonny and Alex from Class 12 spent a week at the National Computer Science School and have
come back raving about what they learned. (See report in this newsletter). It has had a big influence
on the IRP that Jonny is now planning to do.
Finally there was regional conference, Music, Movement and Metal which we organised here where
we were joined by teachers from Noosa, Rainbow Ridge, Periwinkle Kindergarten, Candlenut
School (Cairns), Coffs Harbour and Bellingen. It was a very rich week of movement and interesting
workshops, where 65 teachers were present. The content of the conference has flowed on into the
school. The High School is starting a routine where 4 days a week we begin with music and
movement before the main lesson. Also as a result of the conference, we have two new forges in the
hard craft area and forging will become part of the hard craft curriculum.

Term 1 Week 1 3 February 2012
It was wonderful to see the students return to the High School on Monday – ready to start work.
The new dress code was given two days moratorium and is now in place. It is great to see the way
the students have complied with the new prescription of no writing, logos or picture on their tops.
We look forward to seeing more of you as the year progresses. There is a rich program of main
lessons, studio lessons, and landscape lessons – beginning with the Class 10 going on the Kaloola
Canoe Camp as Part of the Living Earth Main Lesson. Class 8 will be cycling about 300km near
Chinchilla in week 5 as part of their Food Chemistry main lesson.

Our Experience at National Computer Science School (NCSS)
Jonny:
Soon after we (Alex and I) arrived at the university campus we were split into two different
streams; Python and Embedded and given our first introductory lectures. The Python stream (the
one I was part of) was split up into 4 groups out of which people could choose to either do the
introductory lectures or the advanced lectures. I opted for the advanced lectures and was
immediately blown right out of my depth; I had no idea of just how much amazing alternate theory
and abstract thinking, not strictly related to programming, could be applied to programming,
making many scripting related task easier. We had 2 lectures per day and 2 lab sessions to work
through problems and work on our projects. Each stream had their own project and each group (2
embedded groups and 4 python groups) had their own innovative way of going about it. Alex will
talk about the embedded project later. The python project was to construct a social website of some
kind that would let its users create and log in to profiles and share some form of information. For
this we were given 2 days and an all-nighter. The group I worked in was comprised of 13 people
and we chose to make a website focused on arguments. The basic principal was people could put up
issues and other users would vote and comment their opinion. The result of our brain-child can be
seen here at www.letsbikka.com
The whole experience has been a great learning curve for both of us and we were both utterly
exhausted by the end of it. I would never have believed so much information could be absorbed in
such a small space of time.
Alex:
We stayed on campus in shared rooms at the Women‘s College. I was bunked with a Victorian
fellow and Jonny was lucky enough to have an entire room to himself. However I was very
fortunate as it turned out that my roommate Angus Goldman was a great guy, who also just so
happened to be a past student at Little Yarra Steiner School in NSW. The food at the college was
amazing and we were all thoroughly well looked after. As Jonny mentioned, I spent my time at the
National Computer Science School (NCSS) working in the embedded stream. An embedded
system, simply put, is a microcomputer which can be commonly found in washing machines,
dishwashers, fridges, cars, and just about anything that needs to be operated by a program. We were
sitting 4 x 30 min lectures a day which were in turn followed by 1.5 hour lab sessions. The lectures
started by introducing us to what are called Arduino Boards. These boards were the embedded
system that we were allowed to program. I began by writing the program for a clock which I later
added an alarm feature and silence button to. A few days into the course we were handed the
instruction manual for an iRobot Create which listed all the available serial inputs and outputs that
we could send and receive to the ex-vacuum cleaner now toy robot. The robot had many sensors
such as bump left/right, cliff, infra red, light and an accelorometer. The arduino board also had
buttons and an LCD screen that we could work with. Our final task was to program the robots to
relay race along a track which was laid down with some reflective tape. At the end of the track it
had to collect an object by catching it and then return back to the start line. You can see video

worked on is also available from the videos page.

Friday School Community Growers Market at the school – starting 10 February
As part of the food gardening initiatives announced by the school in December last year, the regular
market at the primary school kitchen garden is commencing on 10 February. The market is for
locally grown produce from parents and teachers of the school and any excess produce from the
school food gardens. The market will run from 2.30pm to 3.30pm in the shade of the primary
school kitchen garden structure.
Peter Kearney is the market coordinator. If you have any produce (vegetables, fruit or herbs) in
your food gardens that is excess, please contact Peter to discuss the options on how to supply
produce to the market, no matter how small the quantity. Lots of small growers can make up a large
and regular supply over time. Seedlings can also be sold, as well as eggs, jams and other foods
Peter is an experienced organic and biodynamic gardening educator and grower and has been a
parent at the school for 17 years. Contact Peter on 0401156532 or peter@cityfoodgrowers.com.au
At the 10 of February market, a brief talk will be made by Chris Jack on the food gardening
initiatives for the school.

A Passionate Schooling
Available from the Bookshop or www.passionateschooling.com – for previous items check past
newsletters on the school website
Welcome back to all previous readers and hello to any new readers who are seeing this item for
the first time. You will find this segment of the newsletter each fortnight.
We continue the exploration of Truth, Beauty and Goodness with a focus on the latter, the
quality of Goodness.
―In a world where so many children are cut off from the beauty of nature, from forests and bird
song and even blue skies, where contemporary youth culture can be even deliberately ugly, it is
important that, in the school, children are surrounded by beauty, in the physical and human
environment, and have all around them models which demonstrate and encourage the value of
creativity and imagination. For this reason attention should be paid in Waldorf schools to the
quality of a teacher‘s speech and movement, to the beauty of the architecture and natural
environment, to the quality of materials used in art, craft and toys, to providing artistic activities
of all kinds, to all children, all through the school years. Warm enthusiasm for beauty is a core
value of the education provided in Waldorf schools.
The third great ideal worked with in Waldorf Education is goodness. To understand ‗goodness‘
more deeply we will need to move beyond the idea of correct behaviour that arises from
convention, fear of punishment or hope for reward, towards an ideal of pure love of service to
others, service offered in freedom. True goodness is the basis of morality and links each human
Page | 7

Term 1 Week 1 3 February 2012
being to others. Steiner suggested that a good man is one who can empathize with others
because ‗Upon this all true morality depends and without morality no true social order among
earthly humanity can be maintained.
Steiner noted that when people act out of the motivation to do good—they may enter so deeply
into sympathy with others that they experience the pain of the other in themselves. Further he
said the part of us which carries the sensing/perceiving/feeling/awareness of the soul becomes
healthy through our caring for the needs of others. So we see that the doers of good receive for
themselves an intrinsic reward and strength for their goodness.‖
Next time we look at the receivers of goodness
