Mandy Silversides  – Education Facilitator

Mandy has been a class teacher at Kamaroi (Sydney) and Bowral Steiner Schools for the last 15 years. Her passion is classroom teaching and learning, yet increasing interest in the school-wide picture saw her move into mentoring and leadership roles in recent years.

She moved with her family to Hobart to take up this new role at Tarremah, and has two daughters at the school. In supporting the teachers, she enjoys the opportunity to continue deepening her understanding of Steiner education, working collaboratively with colleagues to inspire and support the children in their learning. She loves getting out and about, connecting with the broader Steiner/educational context at conferences, workshops and meetings.
