NT Festivals

School informer

If people can take part in an annual cycle of seasonal rites of passage that have an observable reality in the changes of nature, they may, it is hoped, feel a stronger responsibility as adults for the earth and its needs and not be confined.

The rhythmic cycle of the year is celebrated at our school, we foster a sense of harmony with the changing seasons. These changes are reflected in our activities and nature. When children come together, we hope that there will be a sense of sharing with the greater community what they are doing. With a quiet, receptive fully engaged atmosphere we try to place less emphasis on individuals and more emphasis on the synergy of what is created together.
