Last year in 2021, we celebrated our 25th anniversary opening our outdoor classroom and raising funds for our school entrance flow form. We also submitted our application to the MOE for our class range increase to Class 12 (Year 13). 

Finally, this year in 2022 the MOE gave us the thumbs up, allowing us to grow our Classes 10, 11 and the 12 over the next three years. This has been a massive undertaking with a great deal of time and effort going into consolidating and developing our existing infrastructure and practices, extending and upgrading buildings and the grounds, deepening our special character and enriching our curriculum. 

As well as focusing on our physical environment we have also spent much of our time laying foundations for a well-balanced holistic high school curriculum, providing the New Zealand Steiner Certificate recognised by our own universities and internationally. We are also investing in our staff training and development with the support and strong networks provided by the other Steiner High Schools and the Steiner Fellowship in Aotearoa.

In 2023 and subsequent years, we will be building new classrooms and a community room, repurposing buildings, landscaping and upgrading play areas, so there is still plenty to do. 

There are many people that need to be thanked for their invaluable contribution to this very special school. To all our wonderful students and their families. To all the community for its support and generosity in donations, time and faith in Waldorf education and in particular Waikato Waldorf School.
