A New Chapter Begins

Celebrating the Class of 2026

Last night, the Class of 2026 gathered with families and staff at Sergeants' Mess in Mosman to celebrate a significant milestone: the completion of their school years and the beginning of new journeys beyond the Glenaeon school gates. It was a joyful and reflective occasion, providing an opportunity to honour not only our graduates, but also the parents and carers whose support has accompanied them throughout their years at the School.

Earlier in the day, the Graduation Assembly brought the community together to acknowledge each of our forty graduates. Through stories, reflections and moments of laughter (and a few tears!), we celebrated the many gifts, interests and contributions that have shaped this cohort. Over thirteen years of formal schooling, these wonderful young adults have grown into thoughtful, capable and authentic individuals, each ready to take their place in the wider world in their own distinctive way.

As they leave, our hope is that they carry forward the values nurtured through a Steiner education at Glenaeon: integrity, wisdom, courage and heart, and a commitment to living with purpose. Rudolf Steiner expressed this aspiration when he wrote: “Our highest endeavour must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives.”

We congratulate the Class of 2026 and thank them for the contribution they have made to our community. While their time as students has come to an end, our hope is that Glenaeon will always remain a place of connection, belonging and welcome. We look forward to following their journeys and celebrating all that lies ahead.

Seasonal Festivals

Of particular focus in Term 4 are two very special occasions in the Glenaeon calendar that serve as our Summer Festival events. The annual Carol Service will take place on Monday November 30 at Pitt Street Uniting Church, starting at 6.30pm. This is a compulsory event for students in Classes 4 to Year 11 and I look forward to welcoming you all to what will be a very special event. In addition, the Staff have started rehearsing for The Shepherd’s Play, a long-held tradition in Steiner schools across the world. Students will have the opportunity to see the teacher-performed play at school. In addition, a performance for the Glenaeon community is scheduled for Tuesday December 8 at 6.30pm in the Sylvia Brose Hall.

Family Fair – See you there!

And of course, tomorrow is our treasured Family Fair. If the weather report is anything to go by, it looks perfect for ice-cream, shopping and spending time in community by the looks of things.

Warmly,

Diana Drummond
Head of School
