Our 2026 Year 12 students have just completed a very special Main Lesson in the Steiner curriculum: the much-loved Projective Geometry. This classic Main Lesson, taught in Steiner schools around the world, invites students to shift their way of thinking by exploring the nature of infinity and the remarkable idea that parallel lines can meet at a point infinitely far away.

 

Across the three weeks, students investigated the theorems of Pappus and Desargues, using them to construct intricate geometric drawings and explore perspective in both artistic and mathematical forms. Through this work, they learned to see space differently: not as fixed and rigid, but as fluid, relational and full of surprising connections.

 

Completing this Main Lesson marks an important milestone for the cohort as they now step fully into their HSC year, carrying with them the creativity, curiosity and flexible thinking fostered by their Steiner education.
