Harmonising Sensory Development Online Talk: Friday August 25th

Join us for an online evening talk that will help you support your growing child’s individual needs. Melanie Deefholts will introduce simple strategies and methods for harmonizing their sensory system towards health and healing.

Practical Workshop To Learn How to Apply Treatments to Harmonise the Senses: Saturday September 2nd 2.00-5.00pm

Our experiences of anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances and erratic behaviour can be the result of a weakened or overworked sensory system. This Saturday afternoon workshop will provide hands-on experience with a variety of practical applications to support, relieve and build our systems. The treatments benefit people of all ages and especially support children. With Lyn Clifton

Student Program for Class 7 to 12

The program highlights with each class the growth and changes that they are going through. This includes puberty and the physical and emotional changes that go hand in hand over this time. The content is age appropriate for each class. It aims to deepen the young person’s healthy relationship to themselves and encourages greater understanding, mutual respect and compassion for the other members of their class and the school community.

Information Evening for Parents, Caregivers and Staff

The content is help to recognise the relevant depth and progression anthroposophy brings to this important aspect of life and the responsibility of community in raising children and working together to promote individual wellbeing.

We look at how and when we work with children and adolescents to bring the understanding of sexuality and gender in relation to where they are in their consciousness. This brings harmony between the evolving body and inner experiences that sets the ground for healthy adult experience.

The talk will cover the themes of the content brought to the students and some of the main issues confronting child health and wellbeing in current times, with examples of how we can counter the unbalancing effects. We also address how to understand gender differences and similarities that both limit or free us and the contribution and struggles of the changing social structures around gender and sexuality affecting us all.

Please contact the school for times and further details about these sessions
