Educating the whole child
A Steiner School in Perth's Northern Suburbs
Welcome to West Coast Steiner School
West Coast Steiner School is an independent, coeducational Steiner primary school in Nollamara, Perth, 8km north of the CBD. Founded in 1995, WCSS offers screen-free, holistic education from Baby Group through to Class 6 (0–12 years old), guided by the values of Goodness, Beauty and Truth. At West Coast Steiner School we are committed to education that inspires and engages every student. This sets our students up to be resilient, confident, socially responsible, independent thinkers. WCSS is a fully accredited member of Steiner Education Australia and AISWA.
The history
Steiner Education
Steiner education stretches back to 1919, and although the philosophy is more than 100 years old, there is nothing ‘old fashioned’ about it. Steiner education is one of the fastest growing educational approaches in the world, with over 1200 Steiner schools across the globe, including over 50 in Australia. Embracing Rudolf Steiner’s reshaping of education, we want every student to enter the changing world with purpose, as self-directed adults, with a lifelong love of learning. But what does this actually look like in the classroom?
Bina Baby Group
0-18 months
Making Meaningful Connections
Parenthood is life-changing, and support and community are vital in the early months. Bina Baby Group at WCSS in Nollamara, Perth is a warm, nurturing, screen-free space for parents and babies up to 18 months. Meet other caregivers, share experiences, and begin your Steiner journey from the very start.
Playgroup

Nurturing Wonder and Awe
WCSS Playgroup in Nollamara is a beautiful and creative, screen-free space for children 18 months to 4 years.

Children flourish at their own pace with the security of their caregiver and the wisdom of an experienced facilitator.
Kindergarten

Strengthening the Will and Body
The WCSS Steiner Kindergarten in Perth is the bridge between home and school, where children aged 4 to 6 learn through play and imitation. Movement, singing, painting, cooking and gardening develop gross and fine motor skills, language, and social confidence – the whole-child foundation that prepares your child for primary school.
Primary
7-12 years
Thinking, Feeling, Willing
WCSS Primary in Nollamara, Perth follows the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework across Class 1 to Class 6. Each class is led by a dedicated Class Teacher who stays with the cohort across multiple years, supported by Specialist Teachers in languages, music, craft, woodwork and movement. A rich, screen-free curriculum that develops both academic capacity and individual potential.

In German studies this term, Class 5 has been learning about houses. Inspired by the story of Matilde, a runaway house, students created a room in a shoebox, giving them German names and wrote a German description too!

"Do your best, one garment at a time and know that we are happy to receive clothing and wrigglers at the door. We, as parents know all too well that feeling of relief as you hand the two seemingly disparate bundles over and pray for a miracle. Know that miracles abound, you just have to believe in what you are doing, do the work and stay the journey.".

At West Coast Steiner School, every fortnight we focus on a virtue. Our current virtue is Creativity.
Creativity is the power of imagination. It is seeing something in a new way, finding a different way to solve a problem. Creativity is using your imagination to bring something new into the world.
Without creativity, life would be boring. There would be no inventions or advancement in the world. Things would just stay the same. We wouldn't have cars, planes, computers, dance or music. The arts bring joy to the world. Sciences bring cures for disease and new ways to get things done. Creativity helps us to be all we can be.

🐝World Bee Day! 🐝
Did you know that bees and beekeeping hold a special place in Steiner schools worldwide? Many Steiner schools incorporate beekeeping into their curriculum, allowing students to participate in the health of bees.
In 1923, Rudolf Steiner completed a series of lectures in response to concerns from beekeepers among his local workforce. He predicted the current state of the bees, so what can we do about it now? Some great options are -
- Plant bee friendly flowers! They love local native plants.
- Set up a small bee pond with rocks so the bees have a safe water source.
- Consider natural options to replace any pesticides. Salt spray or orange citrus oil are great options.

At West Coast Steiner School, every fortnight we focus on a virtue. Our next virtue for Term 2 is Compassion.
Compassion is having kind feelings toward someone who is hurt or troubled. It is caring deeply and wanting to help, even if you don't know them. It is being kind and forgiving to someone who has hurt you. When people feel hurt or in trouble, they often feel alone. Feeling alone can make things even worse. Without compassion the world is a hard and lonely place. Compassion helps us to be understanding of others and ourselves.
Compassion begins by noticing when someone seems sad or troubled. Put yourself in their place and ask how you would feel if it were happening to you. Take time to listen, and then say kind things like "What are you sad about?" and "How can help?" Be forgiving when others make mistakes. Be a friend when someone needs a friend.
How do you practise compassion in your family? Drop a comment and let us know!

At West Coast Steiner School, every fortnight we focus on a virtue. Our next virtue for Term 2 is Honesty.
Being honest is being open, trustworthy and truthful. When people are honest, they can be relied on not to lie, cheat, or steal. Honesty is telling the truth. It is admitting mistakes even when you know someone might be angry or disappointed. Being honest means that you don't pretend to be something you are not. With honesty, you can trust things to be as they appear.
Honesty is important because it builds trust. When people lie, or cover up mistakes, others can't trust them. When people aren't honest with themselves, they pretend that something doesn't matter when it does or they exaggerate to impress others. When you are honest with yourself, you accept yourself as you are.
How do you practise honesty in your family? Drop a comment and let us know!

At West Coast Steiner School, every fortnight we will be selecting a virtue to focus on. Our first virtue is Kindness.
Kindness is showing you care, doing some good to make life better for others. It is being thoughtful about people's needs. Kindness is showing love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs your help. Kindness is treating yourself and others gently. It is caring about the earth and all living things.
Without kindness, no one would listen when people or animals need help. The world is lonely without kindness. When someone reaches out to another in an act of kindness, it helps them both.

"Rudolf Steiner said that it is not what you know but who you are that is important. But the ‘who’ you are, is not a fixed point. We are forever striving and growing. Making mistakes and doing our best to make good our learning as spiritual and human beings. Sometimes the growth, the learning is slow and in small increments but equally it can be so fast and so profound that it takes your breath away".

Our Class 5 students have been immersed in Ancient China and recently visited Boola Bardip to explore the enduring legacy of the Qin Dynasty. They’ve reinforced their learning artistically through water colour paintings of the Great Wall.
Meanwhile, Class 6 students have entered the world of Ancient Rome. The eagle, rich with symbolism, has become a powerful image for the class, representing courage and clarity of purpose. In their drawing lesson, they are learning perspective, carefully observing proportion and depth.

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day is observed annually in Australia on February 26, encouraging people of all ages to read, share, and celebrate magical stories and folklore.
In Steiner education, fairy tales are foundational for children under 7 years old and in Class 1 used to nurture imagination, moral clarity, and emotional development. Teachers tell these stories orally—rather than reading from books—often repeating the same tale daily for weeks to deepen internalisation.
Fairy tales speak deeply to children and embed a love of learning.

🍎 Did you know? 🍎
Calling teachers by their first names reflects Rudolf Steiner’s broader ideals of authority through relationship, respect through example, and education as a spiritual-human journey.
We use first names because:
Respect is earned, not demanded
Titles such as Mr and Mrs emphasise hierarchy. Our teachers foster respect and authority by demonstrating qualities such as kindness, wisdom and moral example.
Education as relationship
We believe teaching is not about transferring knowledge but guiding each child in their individual development. Personal address reinforces this intimate, guiding role. By addressing teachers personally, students experience education as a human-to-human encounter, reinforcing the idea that learning is about individual growth and connection, not conformity.
Community and equality
Steiner schools aim to build a strong sense of community. First name use reduces barriers and fosters equality, aligning with Steiner’s vision of schools as places where children feel part of a shared journey rather than subject to authority from above.
So as you can see, when Steiner school students call teachers by their first names, it’s deeply connected to our ideals and intentional like so much of what we do!
