Listen "Steiner X, Y and Z: The formation of a lifelong learner"

Episode Synopsis

Marcus Pater is a Steiner X, Y and Z: he is a graduate of
Lorien Novalis School for Rudolf Steiner Education, Dural, Sydney, and is now
both a teacher in the high school there and also a parent. In between he
trained at Queensland University of Technology in Acting and worked for over 12
years in professional theatre, before returning to his former school as a
parent and then teacher. He looks back with fond memories on the highlights of
his education that shaped who he is today: the class plays, the class trips,
the music program and a love of Nature. Together they gave him a way of looking
at the world that maintains curiosity, freshness and resilience, all the traits
of a lifelong learner.
