The final touches are being undertaken while the surrounding earthmoving and landscaping is now happening. While it is still a few weeks away from having classes move in, the external structure now proudly stands over the rest of the school while still blending in with the existing High School buildings. Thanks go to Stefan Kiefer for his attention to detail and clarity in ensuring the school gains the best set of science laboratories and rooms possible. Also thanks to Annabelle Kellenberger for her willingness to support the process within very challenging time constraints. The building will be a wonderful addition, providing extra classroom space and better facilities to support the learning of Science in the High School. Perth Waldorf School as a place of growth and personal development While the children busily engage with their learning, the school also provides opportunities for teachers and parents to further their own inner development. Through regular study groups here at the school, parents and teachers meet with the ideas and concepts of spiritual science and find their own relationship to the ideas and images they encounter. With individuals free to relate to these teachings in their own way, it is simply being open to these thoughts and ideas that can affect both powerful and subtle changes. Anne Williams facilitates a parent group on Monday mornings and anyone can attend. Thank you Anne for providing this unique and powerful activity within the school. Please enquire at the Front Office if you are interested in joining in. Together with the staff groups running on Mondays and Wednesdays after school, and the ongoing adult course on Wednesday evenings run by Horst and Jennifer Kornberger, it’s wonderful to see the impulse of self development and inner striving reach not just the students, but also the teachers and adults who hold them. Class 10 Camp at Coral Bay Thanks to John Bluntschli, Danica Wichtermann, Feonagh Cooke and Marina HashimMillar for driving the Class 10’s over 1100kms to Coral Bay and back. From all reports it was a wonderful experience swimming with sharks, dolphins, manta rays and a myriad of other sea creatures. It’s a big task to hold nearly 40 Class 10 students over 8 days and nights and such a distance. We are so appreciative of your efforts.

ROE 8 SAVE BEELIAR WETLANDS Save Beeliar Wetlands and Rethink the Link are continuing to challenge the legality and false processes of Roe 8 and the Perth Freight Link. We have recently put in an application to the High Court to appeal the Roe 8 approvals in the High Court! We would love your continuing support for our legal and outreach campaigns! We know folks are really busy or have limited capacity so if you can, gifting funds is a great way to help. Please donate to our legal campaign at https://www.gofundme.com/wetlandslegalfund or search for ‘Save Beeliar Wetlands Law Fund’ in the gofundme website. The SBW website also has a number of different ways to donate: savebeeliarwetlands.com. If you have some time we are especially seeking help with our outreach campaign (door knocking, letter writing and stalls). Please get in touch with Maureen Flynn on [email protected]. Thanks for all your fine support PWS! Kate Kelly, SBW convenor and Rethink Co-convenor EARLY CHILDHOOD There is such a lot of gnome activity in the Kindy this term! Winter is holding its sway and the rain means that we still have water in our tank. After the parent night in Rose Room last Monday, some little wax characters were found hiding around the classroom. Intriguing….. Parent Nights are often times for “Ah-Ha!” moments. Please make time to attend and you may see what I mean. Time spent in the company of your companions on this parenting journey is so precious, and will reap rewards for your child, both short term and long term. Teachers put lots of love wisdom and creativity into these nights, and gain much of the same in return. Your attendance at one parent night each term is expected. Swings and cubby in the Rainbow back garden are now being well enjoyed by the children. Parent volunteers, Bronwyn Maddock, Titus and Matt deserve thanks for this. Kindy 4 have been planting out beetroot this week, and harvesting broccoli and kale, k which will be used by the Canteen. Cedar House children are using their new “jouncing board” to good effect. It gives them precise challenges in the foundation senses of Balance and Movement. Gardening volunteers have been doing some much needed weeding. It was a lovely buzz of energy last week in the Rainbow and Rose gardens when Heidi led a band of helpers. The children get a great feeling of “belonging-ness” “belonging when their parent gets active at school! One of Rose Room’s all-important important dolls has had a loving makeover from Anne Williams, who warmed to the task : floppy neck, sad eyes, hunched shoulders : all have been attended to. Thanks Anne. PLAYGROUP PARENT EVENING - 6.30PM, M, Thursday 1ST September, Playgroup Room “Understanding The Joy of Our 0-3’s” - Who are these souls? - What are they bringing? - How do we help them in a modern era?

Look after yourselves and your children. Please do not send students to school when unwell. With lowered immune systems comes a thinning of emotional tolerance too so be gentle people pe – be gentle with yourselves and each other. It is still raining sporadically and the children need to be encouraged to play outdoors - without getting soaked - so they need a rain jacket please! We are nearing our Grand Tour Day next weekend and please please remember that this is a school day for the children and they will be asked to come to school for a short while during the day. Take the the opportunity to look into the High H School chool classrooms and see what goes on with our high school students.

Many thanks, Eva UNI OPEN DAY Notre Dame University - Sun 21 August, 10am-3pm 10am Tree planting ceremony commemorating Hiroshima Day th On Friday August 5 2016, four of our lovely year eight students were invited to attend a day of remembrance for Hiroshima, a day when the Atom bomb dropped on Japan in th August 6 1945. Hiroshi Sensei took us to Dixon Park where we met the founders of the tree planting ceremony ony and other students from different schools. Then to begin we got told a story of the magpies and crows, when the sky was low to the ground and the birds were forced to walk on the earth but one day the birds decided to lift up the sky so they could receive rece the gift of flight and that’s exactly what they did. Before we got to plant the trees to symbolize a new beginning, we released two doves to also symbolize peace. Then we got to the planting of the trees. The four of us split up in twos and planted a tree t in our groups. We took a couple of photos and enjoyed a beautiful day. We then left Dixon Park and met for morning tea at Cockburn city office where we were served sushi, sandwiches and sausage rolls with great beverages. After we had settled down we got told another story called “The Story of The Peace Crane” which was about a girl named Sadako Sasaki. She was born in 1943 and when she was just two years of age the Atom bomb hit Japan. She grew up to be happy and healthy girl and her dream was to become become a physical education teacher. But on February 1955 she went to Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital with a condition called “the Atom Bomb disease.” While in hospital she had been told a legend where “If someone was to fold a thousand paper cranes they would be granted a wish”. later that year Sadako died on th October 25 1955. But while making the cranes she wished for World Peace. “I will write Peace on your wings and you will fly over the world.”(SadakoSasaki) After we had been told that story we were given given a piece of paper and were told to draw something that represents world peace. And once we had done that they would be turned into tiles and put in the city of Cockburn. That was the end of our experience of Hiroshima day. I think it’s it due to say from all four of us Genevieve, Kate, Sophie and myself “thank you for that wonderful experience.” Class 8 - Isaac Vale LIBRARY NEWS Thank you to everyone who has been supporting our Community Book Stall.
