Croí na Coille Primary School will host a free public talk on ‘Educating the whole child: head, heart and hands – The Waldorf Steiner Approach to Education’ in the College of Further Education and Training Croom Campus, High St, Croom on Thursday 28th March from 7.30pm to 9pm. All are welcome to the much anticipated talk which will be delivered by Pearse O’Shiel MA, an inspiring speaker who has dedicated his life to nurturing the spirit of creativity and wholeness in each child. He is the chairperson of Lifeways Ireland, the patron body for Irish Steiner National Schools, and a long time campaigner for state recognition and funding for Steiner/Waldorf Primary Schools in Ireland.

Vision of a better childhood
Pearse’s talks combine down-to-earth practicality with the vision of a better childhood for all. Croí na Coille, Primary School Croom, is a co-educational, multi denominational, child-centred primary school embracing the principles for Steiner/Waldorf Primary Schools in Ireland. The school concentrates on developing the whole child, emphasising the vision of a better childhood for all and the importance of physical, emotional, social and spiritual development as much as intellectual development. The unique facility delivers the National Primary School curriculum combining academic learning with outdoor play and Forest School activities. The long-term goal for the school is to achieve recognition from the Department of Education and Skills and follow the path of Croí na Coille Primary School which concentrates on developing the whole student.
