Our Environment

Kindlehill Steiner School is perched above the beautiful lake in Wentworth Falls, in amongst the heritage listed Blue Mountains national park. We are proud to honor the original custodians of this land first and foremost the Dharug and Gundungurra people.

Rudolf Steiner explained that our natural environment not only shapes us as individuals but it also becomes a part of who we are. We take both pride and joy in the beautiful grounds and learning spaces that we have created and continue to take care of.

The original school forms part of the original structure but in 2008 the primary buildings were lovingly constructed by members of our community. Our gardens are tended to by children, teachers, parents and the wider community alike.

Our school features three main buildings which are fully equipped with:

  • Playgroup
  • Kindy Garden rooms
  • Primary to year 10 rooms
  • Library
  • Music room
  • Architecturally acclaimed performance space
  • High School art studio
  • Science lab
  • Woodwork and metal workshop
  • Administration offices
  • The larger outdoor grounds feature a variety of age appropriate gardens and playgrounds which weave their way through the premises. They feature, sandpits, various cubbies, an adventure rope bridge, giant slide, trampoline, bush circle complete with a fire pit, basketball court and chicken pens. Throughout the School we have planted and maintain areas of permaculture gardens and make use of our office for a fully functioning permaculture garden.

Beauty is an integral part of the Steiner principles and treasuring our land, our buildings and our environment in this way, enables our senses to be enriched with each day we spend here.
