2025 Governance, Leadership, Administration & Management Conference
Steiner Education Australia
“The future is uncertain… but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity.” – Ilya Prigogine (Nobel prize winner)
It is often noted that the old certainties are fading and a new landscape of uncertainty prevails. Opinions are polarised and fixed: are we in an age of inelasticity? How do we plan for uncertainty and read the landscape, ready for a flexible and appropriate response that can guide our schools to a successful and sustainable future?
The nature of schooling has changed and the old authority of school leadership and of teachers is under challenge. Is it just a post-covid phenomena or is it a longer term trend of social media undermining the role of the institutions of government and schools? School is now sometimes seen as an option rather than an essential; more parents seek part time enrolments for children and home schooling is an increasing option.
How do we understand our present position in the light of historic developments? Knowing where we come from helps us predict trends into the future. Ultimately what are the sources of inspiration and nourishment that are available to us from our deeper understanding of life and society with which Rudolf Steiner’s work provides us?
This conference will help you see the landscape of apparent chaos and uncertainty as an opportunity for growth.
National Teachers’ Conference 2025
Steiner Education Australia
“I” and “us”: finding our purpose as individuals and communities
In an increasingly fragmented and traumatised world, how do the healing aspects of Steiner education contribute to wellbeing, health and a meaningful life? How do we find and harmonise our personal purpose (“I”) with the purpose of our community?
Steiner’s founding vision for education was the harmonising of the human being: bringing the eternal core of each student as an individual into harmony with their bodily nature which lives in community. At each stage of child and adolescent development our task as teachers is to educate in ways that support and strengthen this inner harmony as a foundation for a balanced and meaningful life. Our aim is to harness the transformative power of Steiner education’s core dynamic between courageous thinking (professional skill), imagination (personal creative artistry) and responsible action to build a future of balance and belonging, for our students and ourselves.
