principal founder, and pioneer teacher (of both the Primary and High
Schools) at Australia's second Steiner school, LORIEN NOVALIS, in
Dural, Sydney. He was Chairman of the school from its 1971 inception,
until he left in 1985. As well, he founded, and was the Director of,
the first full-time Steiner teacher-training facility in Australia, the
LORIEN NOVALIS COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION. He was Convenor of RUDOLF
