We acknowledge and pay respects to the Wonnarua people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Linuwel School gratefully lives and grows. We acknowledge that the entire nation of Australia has been cared for by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for tens of thousands of years. May the cultural, spiritual, and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue and may Linuwel School promote and facilitate amongst its community members respectful, trusting, and positive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our Vision
“Our highest endeavour is to develop young men and women who out of themselves are able to impart meaning and direction to their own lives.”
— Rudolf Steiner
At Linuwel, we strive to provide an educational pathway inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s indications and in doing so, nurture an inherent love of learning, personal striving and the capacity for imagination.
The school promotes and protects a feeling for goodness and for beauty in childhood and feeling for truth together with the capacity for critical thinking in the high school years to provide a healthy foundation for the unfolding of individual potential.
In its valuing of community and relationships, the school encourages gratitude, resilience, responsibility, compassion, and creative thinking in our students.
The Values of Linuwel School encompass the following:
- Anthroposophy. We endeavour to align our work with the principles of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual philosophy, Anthroposophy, the study of human beings, our nature, development, freedoms, responsibilities, and potential for spiritual growth.
- Collaboration. We value collaboration and co-operation over competition, striving daily to build harmony and nurture every class as a learning community. We enable collaboration by communicating openly and honestly, demonstrating mutual respect, and sharing responsibility.
- Evidence-based practice. Teaching and learning programs and practices are informed by Rudolf Steiner’s indications and critical engagement with contemporary educational research.
- Fairness. Interactions and decision-making are oriented towards the principles of equity and fairness. We commit to the use of due process and restorative practice, balancing individual freedoms with the needs of a healthy social community.
- Inclusion. We acknowledge the inherent worth and dignity of all people, positively valuing and respecting diversity and difference. We seek to build a sense of belonging among all involved with the school.
- Respect. We are committed to action that advances Reconciliation, shows reverence for the natural world, shows diligent care for resources, and is nourishing to mind, body and spirit.
- Service. We strive to be, and to enable children to become, active and contributing citizens. Our work is to make ethical and sustainable decisions for social, environmental and personal transformation, and enable students to do the same.
