OUR CHARTER:

Mission Statement

“Our school will enable each pupil to become a free, responsible and caring individual with purpose and direction in life, with an awareness of the environment, an individual who, as a citizen of the world, can contribute to the future”.
 
“Receive the child with Reverence, Educate the child with Love, Let each go forth in Freedom”    Rudolf Steiner
 
Our children will be confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners 

Our Vision

We are a vibrant community with children who grow to know themselves as true kaitiaki of their future.

Our Values

1. Steiner pedagogy -  which is age-appropriate, arts-based and referenced to the principles of truth, beauty and goodness
2. Sanctity of childhood – free of undue rush and pressure, fostering a sense of wonder
3. Whakapapa – interconnectedness with the natural world and each other
4. Hauora – spiritual, emotional, physical and mental well-being
5. Whanaungatanga  - recognition of the humanity in each individual, the need for community and for manaakitanga of the community
6. Kaitiakitanga - responsibility and guardianship of our environment and culture on behalf of future generations and childhood
   

Strategic Goals

1. Excellence in Steiner Education so that children are creative thinkers, socially aware and reaching their academic and artistic potential. All children are provided with the full Dunedin Steiner curriculum, linked to the New Zealand curriculum.
2. Growing the Roll - a financially and pedagogically viable Primary school, offering Steiner education up to the start of High School, ultimately accommodating separate classes at each age level.
3. Building Community - the development of a healthy community, respecting the many cultures of Aotearoa New Zealand and honouring its bicultural foundation in the Treaty of Waitangi.
4. Governance and Management - to improve clarity and cooperation in operational processes.
