The season of spring is about renewal, which is something to look forward to through a long, cold, and wet winter.
Willunga Waldorf School students are currently getting ready for Spring and channeling this into a creative art exhibition.
Which will celebrate themes of environment, community, interconnectedness and new life.
Spring awakening
Willunga Uniting Church is joining the students in this community project.
Every September, Willunga Uniting Church makes its gallery space available to local schools interested in displaying student art.
This year, an exhibition of artwork by students from Willunga Waldorf School will be displayed in Bethany Hall and throughout the church building from Friday, the 5th of September.
This collaborative exhibition is entitled 'Gifts of the Seasons'.
Waldorf students of all ages will be involved in the exhibition, with some older, high school-aged students focusing particularly on creating work relating to the Psalms of the bible, particularly 104 and 138.
Through this focus, students have engaged in conversations about environmental stewardship, social responsibility, environmental and social sustainability, and questions around how to make the world a more compassionate place.
