Welcome to Freshwater Creek Steiner School
At Freshwater Creek Steiner School we offer Steiner playgroups, kindergarten and primary school on 24 acres of Wadawurrung country, near the beautiful Victorian Surf Coast.
Steiner/Waldorf Education is a century old, global movement that arose from a philosophical and spiritual foundation and has evolved to meet the children of today. Each Steiner School around the world reflects its community and founding impulse.
At FWCSS the Australian Steiner curriculum is delivered with a contemporary flavour, that is authentic to the vibrant teachers and families that make up our community.
Creative play and physical challenge; imaginative, artistic and individualised learning, and proactive social engagement are integral to the education at FWCSS.
Our approach develops the children’s ability to recognise and respect their feeling life, think clearly and constructively, and choose actions that will carry them towards their highest potential.
FWCSS is a loving, learning community where children thrive.

Learning through imitation and play.
Our Playgroup provides a nourishing rhythm of baking bread, singing, storytelling, craft and free play. Parents can learn more about Steiner education and enjoy the friendship of other parents.
-
Our Kindergarten rooms provide rhythmic daily programs in nurturing environments filled with beautiful, natural play materials. The outdoor spaces allow for the development of gross and fine motor skills, and imaginative play.

‘Formal’ academic learning begins in earnest in Class 1. After a lively play-based Prep year spent developing their social emotional skills and independence, the children are well ready for this next stage of their learning. We nurture each child’s gifts; growing imagination, skill, confidence, respect, and empathy.
