The School Board is made up of parents and community members who are elected at the AGM held each year according to the schools constitution. The Board is the legal entity that oversees the legal and financial responsibilities of the school. It works with a delegated model in which most operational responsibilities are delegated to senior staff.

The Armidale Waldorf School is operated on a “principal model” with the Principal reporting to the School Board and is supported by key roles including the Business Manager, Early Childhood Coordinator, Head of Primary and Head of Secondary. All other roles report either directly or indirectly to the Principal.

The College of Teachers is comprised of a group of experienced and committed staff members responsible for carrying the educational and philosophical impulse of the school, including regular study, educational and curriculum work and child study. The collaborative collegiate process ensures a conscious striving for the spiritual, academic and physical wellbeing of the students.

All parents and staff are encouraged to participate in the FoW activities. It is a wonderful way to be introduced to the school community. The FoW raise valuable funds each year for much needed educational resources and are a great support for the teachers.

The Friends of Waldorf is the name we give our wider school community, which functions a bit like a P&F only more friendly! Our coordinating group is a sub-committee of the School Board, so the School does most of the tricky paperwork. Our main aims are to strengthen the social fabric of the school and raise funds for it.
