History
Shearwater was founded on 8 February 1993 as a small community Steiner School for the surrounding regional area. It was originally located in the home of two of the School's founders, Stan Stevens and Sally Davison, offering Kindergarten, Class 1 and Class 2. The school grew and was moved to the current location later in its first year.[2]
Description
The school's 52 acre campus is bordered by Mullumbimby Creek and includes a large biodynamic farm.[2]
The school is known for its seasonal festivals and its annual student-led performing arts event WAVE (Wearable Arts Vision in Education).[3]
