Our Community

Michael Hall Waldorf School is distinguished by its strong, supportive community spirit. We actively foster a collaborative and inclusive environment where parents, teachers and students work together to support each child's growth and wellbeing.

Our Four Core Values

PURPOSE

We promote self awareness, confidence and personal growth by encouraging students to develop a strong sense of identity, self discipline, and purposeful engagement in their learning journey, which are essential skills in the modern world. 

BALANCE

We cultivate the whole child by integrating physical activity with artistic expression, and a deep appreciation for the natural world while also honouring intellectual ability. This fosters a harmonious balance between body and mind.

CONNECTION

We foster a supportive and inclusive community where students are encouraged to explore and understand all aspects of their nature, empowering them to confidently express their true selves and be kind to one another.

IMAGINATION

We inspire emotional and academic intelligence, and creativity through imaginative learning and storytelling, which later becomes self awareness through personal narrative, creating a nurturing environment where students can explore and express themselves.
