At Helena River Steiner School, we recognise that every child's learning journey is unique. Some children experience challenges that make attending school five days a week difficult, yet still wish to remain connected to our school community and the rich curriculum we offer.

To support these families, we are introducing a Hybrid Stream in 2026. This flexible model allows students to attend school for a reduced number of days each week while continuing their learning at home, guided by a carefully designed and monitored program that reflects our Steiner philosophy and curriculum. Students will be assisgned a dedicated teacher who will oversee their learning at home, provide guidance to parents on curriculum and teaching approaches, and deliver the required lessons to ensure the student completes a program equivalent to full-time classroom learning.

The Hybrid Stream will: 

• Support students who experience challenges or circumstances that limit full-time attendance.
• Provide structured in-person learning days that focus on core lessons, connection, specialist classes and artistic work.
• Offer guided, home learning activities that complement classroom experiences and maintain the rhythm and integrity of Steiner education.
• Enable families to remain part of the school community while ensuring their child's learning needs are met with care and flexibility.
