SENSATIONAL SAMFORD! Back To Nature

At The Lifestyle Centre

The Lifestyle Centre is situated on nine acres in beautiful Samford Valley. The Centre comprises a nursery, gift shop offering unique homewares and a fabulous cafe serving Toby‘s estate coffee, breakfast and lunch. There is also a day spa, photographer, pilates and yoga centre and our newest editions are the Herdz Horse and Rider outlet and a yarn shop.

The owners of the Lifestyle Centre have a farming background and had a dream to incorporate a paddock walk to share their love for animals with children and the young at heart. This dream is now a reality and members of the public can now take a stroll through the grounds where a variety of tame farm animals live peacefully. The owners operate a rotational cell grazing with different type of animals moving from paddock to paddock by which the soil is enriched and the grazing coverage improved.

The cattle and mini master sheep are well liked, however the Australian miniature goats are the most popular with their cheeky bleating for some yummy goat food. They are true entertainers! In addition, the team at the Lifestyle Centre are very excited to see the arrival of their first miniature donkey Frankie who will be arriving from Victoria very shortly.

The walk takes around 10-15 minutes to complete and there are many seating areas under beautiful trees and overlooking

e l y t s Life

the dams with spoilt hand fed Ducks living on the water along the way.

For the horse lovers, do not forget the Horse Tearoom that has been operating for many years.

Everyone young and old, are welcome to visit the Lifestyle Centre on Mt Glorious Road at Samford, open seven days a week from 8.30am to 4.30pm. More information is available on our website www.lifestylecentre.co

Vacancies In New Prep Class

Samford Valley Steiner School has opened an extra Prep class this year to meet the needs of the local community for Steiner education. The school has a mission to grow and develop Steiner Education and make it as available as possible to all those who are seeking it.

The new group for 5-6 year olds has been created specifically for the group of children waiting on an unusually large and long-term wait list. Prep parents, Matt and Nicole are very happy with the new class. ‘We have been so pleased with our experience at Samford Valley Steiner School. We were really drawn to the school for its nurturing approach to education.

We feel very confident that our daughter will blossom here and develop a love of school and lifelong learning.’

Samford Steiner strives to manifest an important social vision i.e. to provide a living education for social renewal.

Our intention is far greater than to simply educate children for a career or a job. Rather we strive to create an environment within which the children can unfold their own inner potential to serve their own destinies and create change in the world.

The school whole-heartedly believes that our modern world desperately needs this education and that we should strive to provide the opportunity for as many families as possible that are seeking Steiner Education for their children to access it; this will benefit us all.
