The Mount Barker Waldorf School production of
DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST – LIVE ON STAGE! ✨🌹

Our Class 7–11 Music Elective students are excited to bring the enchanting world of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast to the stage!

Since choosing the musical in Term One, our students have been working incredibly hard to bring this production to life. Alongside performing and singing, they have taken initiative in stage directing, designing and creating costumes, props and sets, working together to create something truly special.

With the support of two experienced performers and the generous help of teachers, this has become a wonderful opportunity for our students to develop their creativity, confidence, teamwork and leadership.

We are so proud of what they have achieved together — and now it’s time to share it with you!

Creating Together Across the Years ✨🌿

There is something beautiful about bringing our youngest and oldest students together to learn, create and share in the simple joy of making.

Our Class 1 and Class 12 students recently came together for a special clay-making experience. With hands in the clay, ideas taking shape and older students gently supporting and encouraging our youngest learners, the outdoor classroom became a place of connection, imagination and shared discovery.

News for our Art & Design Enthusiasts!

Our fabulous Art teachers are working together with interested High School students to create Fringe posters for an upcoming competition!

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to explore their creativity, develop their art and design skills, and be part of an exciting project. Students can get involved during electives, and depending on interest, the Art Room may also be open during selected lunch times.

If you’re passionate about art and design, or simply keen to get creative, we’d love to support you!

Last week, our Class 8 students warmly welcomed our Japanese exchange students with a taste of some much-loved Australian favourites!

As part of the experience, our students prepared short speeches about each food, sharing its history, significance and what makes it a favourite in Australia.

There were plenty of smiles, curious reactions and new favourites discovered along the way as our visitors sampled Vegemite, Tim Tams, ANZAC biscuits, lamingtons, fairy bread and meat pies! 😋

Some of our littlest hands have been busy working with rasps, sandpaper and pine bark.

The unexpected joys have been the filings being 'chocolate sprinkles', its use for baking in the sandpit and the delight in discovering the colour and patterns hiding in the wood.

There is no expectation that the bark will be turned into a shape, just the children working in the present and the joy in doing. At the end of our outside play the bark and tools get gathered up into the basket ready for next time.
