At Birali Steiner School, we strive together to deliver an education that honours, nourishes, and develops the creative spirit of the child. Over the last twelve years I have had the great pleasure of observing the meaningful impact this striving makes in the lives of the children and community, as we work to bring a unique educational impulse to life in the Birali way.
Our school aims to kindle in young people, courage, determination, and a sense for truth and beauty, as the foundational flames for lifelong learning. In my work as Principal, I am able to witness daily the myriad of tiny moments in which it is evident that a healthy and lively connection to others, place and self is truly being nurtured within the young people we serve.
It is a great day at work for me when, I experience the healthy way in which Birali lives beyond the school gate. As the school grows each year, I am inspired by and committed to nurturing the ongoing opportunities for mutual creative exchange between Birali and ‘the world’. Our school has received an abundance of support from our local community and the broader Steiner community, and this flows through and enlivens and nourishes every aspect of our school. The name ‘Birali’, inspired by one of the Indigenous Creative Spirits “Biral”, was gifted to us by a local elder and roots us firmly in our place.
Birali strives to provide not only a well-rounded, artistic, and robust learning journey for young people, but also to be a ‘hearth fire’ in the community where families and friends can experience the warmth of being part of an active, creative endeavour. We hope to welcome your family soon!
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to Birali Steiner School.
