25.01.2022 Ours is no ordinary canteen... Meet Marian and Peter Kissner, the new operators of The Gentle Café at our Middle Cove Campus. They bring with them many years’ experience in the restaurant and catering business and a passion for delivering fresh, tasty and nutritious meals and snacks for our students, teachers and staff to enjoy. We asked Marian & Peter a few questions about what they will bring to the Café in 2021, and beyond.

22.01.2022 Thursday 11 March was meant to be very wet but a courageous group of 36 Glenaeon touch football players travelled to Liverpool, joining 11 other schools to take part in the big ISD Touch Football Carnival. Some of these schools can kindly be called ‘rugby schools’ meaning that their prime target in PE is to become good at the rugby, the original form of touch football. As a result, in some games, our teams assembled from students in Year 8 to Year 12, struggled to score. In ...other games though, we really surprised ourselves, winning four games, drawing three. Our main goal was to enjoy a day of physical activity. At times ‘robust’, the games were played in good spirit. We enjoyed a day of meeting other students from different schools and diverse cultures. One group of friendly students even displayed their backflip skills to some of our older students in what looked like a ‘backflip mini clinic’ between games. The weather was kind, and this resulted in a great day of outdoor and physical learning in which all students rose to the occasion becoming better players and team mates over the many touch games played. Well done to all players and a special shout out to the those who scored tries: Remy B and Wesley (both Year 11), Rohan and Jayden (Year 9), Alex (Year 8), Sophie (Year 11), Elke (Year 10), Lotte (Year 9), Quinn (Year 8). #touch #football #touchfootball #touchfooty #glenaeon #steiner #sydney #lowernorthshore #PE

20.01.2022 Class 4 has been working on Animal Projects as part of their Main Lesson. Students each made a model of an animal and also wrote a poem as part of the written component of their work. The range of animals was broad with students choosing to make a model of a bear hunting for food with its cub, a crocodile, stingray, dingo, and even a hand-stitched felt koalas, and a Peacock with its tail feathers on glorious display. Class 4 Teacher Katherine Arconati said, The effort our students put into these works is truly astounding and I am beyond proud of them. When you look at their work, you can see how beautifully we educate the will, a life skill that no standardised test can measure. Well done to Class 4.

20.01.2022 The rain was a welcome relief after the heat leading up to the first day of school. The Castlecrag playground has been a buzz of colourful raincoats as children discover and explore their grounds again, with the new Class 1 eagerly exploring the new play areas and friends. Class 2 children enjoyed inside lunch play out of the rain with blocks, dice and geometric shapes. #rain #outdooreducation #outdoorplay #powerofplay #rainydayplay #castlecrag #primary #school

20.01.2022 SILENT AUCTION: Class 4 students have been immersing themselves in the animal world as part of the Animals and Us main lesson. Each child embroidered an animal of their choice on naturally hand-dyed fabric with cotton threads. The embroidered squares were patchworked together on a cotton batting and turned into a beautiful quilt by a class parent, Yukiko Tomishima. The fabric has been naturally hand-dyed by Yukiko with brown onion, red onion, and red cabbage.

18.01.2022 By Dani Finch, Deputy Head of School K-6: I’m writing this piece as I cross the Great Dividing Range, in a coach with 25 Class 6 students, their teacher Cathy, Hadiah (one of our Outdoor Education sessional staff) and our bus driver Mal! Excitement and spirits are high as we follow the well-travelled road towards Bathurst, en route to Kamilaroi, Wiradjuri and the Weilwan Country the Warrumbungles! But it is the stop at Wentworth Falls Lake that is sitting with me right now.... Wentworth Falls Lake was created in 1878 by damming Jamieson Creek to store water for the steam railway. In 2020, it is a picturesque picnic spot and has excellent facilities. Functional, clean, and natural but - tame. As I stood, watching the children stretch their legs, I experienced the familiar deep knowing that strikes me on every program; that we must continue to take the children in our charge into wild places. By the time Thursday comes, and the coach pulls into McClelland St, Willoughby, we will have spent some time in the ‘wilderness’, and the children will be quieter, calmer, and more settled into their natural rhythms...

16.01.2022 When the students learned that Gardening Teacher Sandra slipped and broke her collarbone, they gathered to water the gardens, dig out the compost and care for the gardens at Castlecrag. They also made gifts and cards which were delivered to her home. It is the measure of a great teacher, that the children can continue in their absence, with the same rhythm and enthusiasm. We all wish Sandra a speedy recovery and return! Look at all the composts, watering, flowers, bees, the... playground and cups of tea in these cards! Playgroup has continued beautifully thanks to Carly from Preschool, who has enjoyed visiting Castlecrag and meeting all of Sandra's playgroup children. Sandra said, I am so pleased that they know what to do, even though I am not there! They have learned how to garden, compost and fertilise from Playgroup through Preschool, Kindergarten and it continues through the Primary school. When one person in the team steps out, everyone else knows how to keep all the cycles going. I am enormously grateful to the children and their teachers for coming forward to continue caring for the plants and the animals in all the school gardens until I return.

10.01.2022 What a welcome relief it was to finally see the sun! The level of excitement and sheer relief was palpable as children played in the warm air and bright sunshine again after relentless rain. As the children's rain pants dry in the sun, we look forward to some more lovely Autumn days approaching the Easter holidays. #glenaeon #castlecrag #sunshine #play #Powerofplay #outdoor #outdooreducation #autumn #easter

06.01.2022 SILENT AUCTION: Class 5 students studied botany as well as ancient India this year. The children enjoyed pressing leaves into clay to make this leafy mandala. The mandala has a plastic backing as a base with holes on all corners to facilitate hanging. It would also add a touch of nature in the dining room as a table centrepiece. A special acknowledgment goes to class teacher, Brendan Strobl, for leading and coordinating the creation of this piece....

03.01.2022 Children have been enjoying their inside-outside play at lunch times as the rain has brought some indoor play time. Students have had a chance to get creative with blocks, games and cards, drawing and their own craft projects. #glenaeon #steiner #steinereducation #castlecrag #rainydays

01.01.2022 Last term, nine excited Glenaeon students from Year 8 Year 12 headed 70km south-west to Saint Helens Park near Campbelltown to compete in a football (soccer) trial day to represent our school and sports association (ISD) in the Football Championships to be held in early May. In pouring rain our students battled the elements and competed for selection. They were much-liked by the critical eyes of the observing selectors who went on to choose three students. I want to congrat...ulate Year 12's Evan Hamele (as outstanding goalie), Jayden Smith (Year 9) and Anton Cope (Yr 8) all as field players in various positions for their outstanding effort and the talent displayed. Given we are a smaller sized school, I couldn’t be prouder that in a team that is formed from all the best soccer playing students from the 12 schools in the ISD Association that Glenaeon had so much talent on display. I want to sincerely congratulate the nominees but also recognise all as well as the effort by parents who facilitated the day for their children, supervised on the day, and for their car pooling and support, including the shift of venue. I wish them all the very best when they will compete with other students from across Sydney to fly our Glenaeon/ISD flag on May 5 and 6 in the AICES Soccer Championships in Glenwood, north of Blacktown.
