From Weird to Wonderful: A Journey in Steiner Education
Eliza Allan grew up in Denmark, Western Australia near Golden Hill Steiner School, and from a distance, she thought the school was a bit weird: today she is the school’s Principal. Her journey from cynicism to commitment has taken her through some fascinating highways and byways: years teaching English in Indonesia, leadership roles in remote schools in the Kimberlys, and a year long journey, on her own with her 10 year old daughter, trekking the 5,330 km Bicentennial National Trail along the Great Dividing Range, on a horse and two donkeys, a trek which produced her book Donkey Dreaming.
The golden thread running through Eliza’s story began when a health professional suggested Steiner education for her daughter. That advice led to interest, then background research and then commitment as she became first a Steiner parent and then a Steiner teacher. Today she leads the school she once saw as weird into its next stage of growth, extending the high school right up to Year 12. Here is Eliza’s journey in Steiner Education.
