Festivals
The rhythmic cycle of the year is celebrated in all Steiner schools. We foster a sense of harmony with the changing seasons. These changes are reflected in our activities and nature. The children will recreate the event in a dramatic story or ceremony. Milkwood celebrates seasonal and cultural festivals. We have developed our programs to include the six seasons of our local region.
As whole school events we celebrate:
Term 1: Mayilema – A Larrakia seasonal festival, held at Lee Point
Term 2: Winter Solstice Lantern Festival
Term 3: Bush Dance and Michaelmas
Term 4: End of Year Recital and Nesting Week
Seasonal Festivals:
Further seasonal festivals are created by community member Diane Lucas and are advertised in the school newsletter. These festivals are complementary to the curriculum and a joy to experience.
