Wild Cherry School

About

Wild Cherry offers playgroup, kinder and a school program based on the educational work of Rudolf Steiner from Prep to Class 6.

Story

At Wild Cherry we continually strive to educate and support the development and potential of each individual child, whilst fostering a creative and ethical community.

Wild Cherry School was established in 2013 and in 2017 offers Prep to Class 5. The school is located in a beautiful iconic 120-year-old building that was the original Bairnsdale hospital.

The school supports the educational indications given by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, who founded Anthroposophy, (wisdom of the human being). It was out of this impulse that the first Waldorf School was established in 1919. Steiner’s profound understanding of child development has become the basis for a “living” curriculum, now widely recognised as a dynamic and innovative educational ideal.

At Wild Cherry we encompass the essentials of Waldorf Education, whilst allowing our teachers flexibility and professional autonomy in delivering the curriculum.

Through committed and ongoing professional development we ensure that we meet current educational standards.

In 2017, classes offered are:
• Prep
• Class 1
• Class 2 & 3
• Class 4 & 5
With Class 6 being offered in 2018.

The school is guided by a Leadership Team which represents the college of teachers and administration. It is overseen by a Board of Governors, which has strong expertise in finance, law, community services and education.

Our Values

We endeavour to:

Foster a desire in our students to aim for academic and artistic excellence, by providing them with a richly diverse and integrated curriculum.

Inspire the children with a lifelong love of learning, a morality that strives for goodness, an appreciation of beauty and a pursuit of truth.
Develop respect, trust and caring for themselves, each other, the broader community and the earth.

Wild Cherry also has a well-established kindergarten program, playgroup, and after school care program.

Parents and friends are warmly invited to share in our yearly festivals, talks and activities.
“Receive the child in reverence, educate them in love, and let them go forth in freedom.” Rudolf Steiner.

I have had my son attending wild cherry for two years, he loved the school however since change of leadership the values of the school have dwindled. Very strong click within the college of teachers, very poor leadership, no responsibility. My son was kicked out of the school for me not paying my fees, I had paid my fees and pulled the school up numerous times after being constantly harassed for money. This went on for months it affected me in every possible way, eventually it became too much, Wild cherry stated I could rerun my son if I apologised! Apologised for making them accountable and not allowing them to steal from me. As much as I love the Steiner philosophy, this school is lacking in quality and leaves children struggling when entering higher years of education.
Excellent school. I had never even heard of Waldorf/Steiner schools and now I have my 3 children in Kinder, Grade 1 and 2 that have attended from 3 year old kinder right through to school. There is no other school locally that nurtures the whole child not only intellectually but in every aspect of who they are through a holistic education. We travel 40 minutes everyday to school because it’s that good. The school fosters all the skills children will need for a changing workforce in their future; Curiosity, Creativity, Bold questioning, Positive Social Consciousness and a Connection to the Natural World. I am currently studying to become a Psychologist and I am blown away by the many approaches the School employs to educate each child that have been used by Waldorf/Steiner schools for decades. Approaches to teaching that research into child development is only recently coming to understand and advocate for, about how children best learn and grow to be confident well balanced adults. My son is quite academically gifted and the school has met him with the appropriate balance of challenge and support to learn Maths and English at an advanced level whilst encouraging him creativity. This is not an easy thing to achieve. I have another son who is very active right now and the opposite of his brother in how he learns and he is equally supported. I’ve personally watched many children with a variety of learning or behavioural challenges thrive intellectually and socially, and feel very at home at this school in such a short time. Along with a superior and tailored education for your children you become part of a whole community of parents, teachers and staff that are very passionate, creative, friendly and supportive of each other.
