Dear families,

You are warmly invited to join us for our Winter’s Night Celebration on Friday 19th June, beginning at 5:00pm at the Ganya Shed, and then continuing into our beautiful school grounds.

Winter’s Night is a special moment in our school year, when we come together as a community to acknowledge the longest night. It is a gentle, hope-filled celebration of renewal – as we await the return of the sun and the gradual lengthening of the days.

This year, we hold a deeper theme of healing and mending. Hope lives in the small and meaningful acts of repair – where we care for what is worn, tend to one another, and recognise that mending is a powerful step toward healing.

In the week leading up to Winter’s Night, we will be observing a Screen-Free Week – a chance for families to reset and reconnect. We encourage time spent in storytelling, games, shared meals, and simple practical tasks. Perhaps in the evenings you might gather to darn socks, patch trousers, or mend well-loved items, embracing the spirit of care and renewal.

Our evening will unfold as follows:

• Families from Playgroup, Little Kindy and the Primary School will gather at the Ganya Shed at 5:00pm for a welcome fire and singing.
• Together, we will walk with lanterns to the school, entering through the new entryway.
• Our High School students have practised a fire twirling performance for families to enjoy on their way through the school.
• We will then all gather in the Performance Space for shared singing and storytelling, bringing our evening to a gentle close.

We so look forward to sharing this time together.

With warmth,
Kindlehill Steiner School
