Well Punted.

'The Newsletter'

That's right, I'm doing it. I'm writing a review on the Samford Valley Steiner School Newsletter.
This gripping piece of literature is released every friday, and I know all Friday I anxiously await it's arrival. Rushing home from the bus to present my mother with the light of my week... THE NEWSLETTER. The joy itself, upon receiving it is enough to get me through the week.

Nah! Just joking. It's an alright newsletter though.
So, by rights we should all know the newsletter. As for the plot, it doesn't really have one, except for the updates on the life of Samford Valley Steiner School and its inhabitants. What is pleasing however are the photos, we all love photos in a piece of writing, it stimulates us aesthetically as well as intellectually, which is always good when you're reading something about small children running around with ribbons and a pole.

It updates us with the latest information on something I rarely have anything to do with: the primary school, which I suppose is good to keep me in the know. It focusses different sections on diffferent classes as well as teachers, and helping out the local community with advertisements for housing, trading and purchasing opportunities.

The newsletter also offers articles from members of a higher authority that we often don't hear from, like the lovely Mrs Wendy Butler for example. This gives these figures an opportunity to express themselves about changes that need to be made, and their opinion, which enables us to get to know them slightly more, bringing us closer. haha.

All in all, my favourite part of 'The Newsletter' is the magnificent 'High Times'. Mainly as it provides me with information on the facet of the school I am most involved. I love the student interviews as i get enlightened to information on some students i would have otherwise known very little about, not to mention again, the pictures... ahh the pictures :)

I'll finish in saying that, 'The Newsletter' is a vital part of the Steiner school, i mean without it we may have never known that Josh Baird was born in 'possibly Toowoomba!'
