Each school however has its own flair and style, history and structure. Most unique and what you would pick up on very quickly in a Steiner school MICHAEL FESTIVAL is the culture that lives in the school. The culture is mainly carried by the teachers Wednesday 25th September through their regular faculty and College meetings and how they deliver the curriculum and relate with the unique children before them. We learn and grow through our interaction with others and through knowing the other via observation and wonder. This is an important task of a teacher.

  • Karl Kaltenbach by Patrick Mcdonald
    Remembering Karl Kaltenbach by Patrick McDonald All of us ‘regenerate’ our destiny, our karma, in each lifetime. We encounter people, events, opportunities, disasters . and through these experiences create our latest incarnation out of what has arisen from our previous lives on earth. What comes to us, the people in our lives, is predestined; however, what we make of our meetings with others is up to us, and in this we can find freedom in creating something new. Karl Kaltenbach figured prominently in a great many lives, including mine. This small article is intended not as a biography but as a kind of memoir, a collection of brief and incomplete anecdotes about how Karl’s many strivings made such a difference to so many people. My first wife Kristina and I first met Karl early in 1973, in Sydney, at the old Rudolf Steiner House, upstairs on Castlereagh Street. I had already encountered anthroposophy in the USA some three years earlier, through the lectures and study groups of my university professor, Fritz Koelln (now often remembered as the translator of Steiner’s Riddles of Philosophy). But the glowing, unknown adventure of life called to me at age 23, and I set off innocently around the world, ostensibly to visit a university friend who was working in India. Money gradually ran out, however, and Australian friends whom I met in Greece and India pointed me towards well-paid work in Darwin, to a country I never intended to visit. A few months later, finances restored, I made my way down to Sydney and began searching for a place to buy more of Steiner’s books, because I had only been able to bring with me from the United States well-worn copies of Theosophy and Knowledge of the Higher Worlds, presents from Professor Koelln.
