Waikato Waldorf School Development Project

Recently, the Waikato Waldorf School received approval to extend its school become a full high school - which will make it the first full Steiner High School in New Zealand for over 40 years! You probably know our school if you have ever attended the fabulous Medieval Carnival that we produce each year.

We are funding the school development project through a combination of bank borrowing and fundraising.

We have set ourselves a fundraising target of $500,000 for new facilities for the lower school and high school including:

1. Two new lower school classrooms for classes one and two,

2. Renovation of class 2 into a high school science laboratory

3. Relocation of lower school library

4. New play areas for lower school students.

The plan is to move classes one and two into newly built classrooms before the end of the academic year, allowing their old classrooms to be converted into a high school laboratory and a new high school teaching space. The two new classrooms have to occupy the site of the current playground, which is why we have to build a new playground which our students have helped design.
