Always Was, Always Will Be. This is the theme for Naidoc Week celebrations this week, recognising that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. I recently listened to a conversation with Dr. Mary Graham where she posed the question, how different would it have been if “Captain Cook” had […]
On Wednesday 16 September, Kindlehill held our Spring Celebration where we expressed our gratitude to Mother Earth for the gifts of life and beauty that sustain and nourish us all. In the days leading up to the celebration, teachers shared stories that depicted the generosity and interconnectedness of nature and our human place within this. On the day, students and teachers worked actively […]
Celebrating the Autumn equinox this year has an extra dimension due to the COVID – 19 pandemic. Last Friday, we mindfully prepared a modest but meaningful ceremony/celebration that supported the students in finding inner strength, in meeting fears and cultivating what is most important in our common humanity – kindness, generosity, humility, respect, love for […]

Annabel and Chris from Low Carbon Living presented on the physics and history of climate change, its risks, and the things we […]
Our fair began with a very heartfelt Welcome to Country by Aunty Carol and lovely musical items from our students. The wonderful performances by the students continued on under Steve Grieve’s smooth coordination at the music tent. The flying fox was extremely popular and all of the activities led by parents brought a richness to the theme […]
