PHILOSOPHY
In our school we acknowledge the whole human being through developing in children and adolescents a love of learning, flexible, creative thinking, and a strengthened, well-directed internal compass.
Our philosophy of teaching and learning is based on a growing understanding and respect out of Dr. Rudolf Steiner’s insights into child development and education, which embraces the social, artistic, academic, physical and spiritual. We enact our philosophy by following the indications given by Steiner and the 7 core principles for Australian Steiner Schools. The philosophy, curriculum and teaching methodology followed at CSSK is brought to the children via the ACARA approved Australian Steiner Curriculum.
The children are immersed in a creative, enriching and wonder-filled learning environment. Children are inspired and guided towards becoming free-thinking, socially responsible adults, with healthy connections to themselves, each other and the world.
STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR CSSK
The school’s Strategic Plan sets out the school’s direction, goals, targets and key strategies for improvement. An extensive and inclusive Strategic Planning Review Process is being undertaken across 2021-2022. This review process will result in an Implementation Plan that will outline incremental stages of the Strategic Plan implementation, monitoring and evaluation, broken down into 12-month targets. The Annual Report thereafter will provide the community with information about the school’s performance in implementing these improvement strategies and how resources have been used.
