Orana Steiner School, Weston | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

A community spirited school. Friendships developed over many years. Approachable and welcoming young people. Beautiful grounds and enriching seasonal activities and excursions. Using head, heart and hands to live and contribute fully.

I attended Orana from year 7-10 and it was the best school I ever went to. I am currently in my second year of uni studying to be a high school teacher so I can return to the place that inspired and motivated me to pursue and love life long learning.

Our experience has only been with early childhood so far, but we have been incredibly happy. The school grounds (primary and high) are absolutely beautiful. Staff are lovely. The teachers have been absolutely wonderful. I’ve had the chance to volunteer some time in the canteen and shop, and I appreciate all the thought that goes into these aspects of the school experience for families. The canteen food by Murray is excellent comparative to the processed rubbish in most schools (certainly when I went through school!). He makes so much food from scratch, it’s impressive. The school shop brings a wealth of truly beautiful resources that enrich. The annual Spring Fair is such a wholesome, community oriented experience.

Yes, since COVID, there has been a lot of staff changes at the school on all levels. There are some teachers whom I do not think are Steiner qualified (yet), but they still teach to the curriculum. The school, by Steiner school standards, is doing very well academically at this time, comparative to the ACT and Australia.

It is a big financial investment, and that is a barrier for many understandably. But it is worth every dollar if you can make it work.

Our children went to this school throughout their schooling (14years) and it was place they always were made to feel safe by their teachers. The school ethos is community and this was what drew us to the school. Our children have come through there schooling well rounded young people with fond memories. Dedicated teachers are at the heart of this school and every person employed there makes it a special place. Excellent academic achievement was achieved in both my children’s years bench marked against other schools in the ACT. Thank you for helping us shape our children. Would highly recommend this school

Our children are currently in the Early Childhood Program.

We have nothing but positive things to say about this beautiful school and could not be happier that this is the environment our children are attending each day.

The teacher are amazing, and in our experience go above and beyond to not only support the academic development of the student, but foster a strong readiness, desire and passion to learn. The Early Childhood program promotes children to discover the world through their own personal experiences and also nurtures and encourages meaningful relationships.

The school and it’s grounds are incredibly beautiful.

Our children love it and so do we.
