Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School, also known as Shearwater Steiner School, is an independent co-ed school, in the hinterland of Byron Bay, that provides human-centred education based on Steiner/Waldorf principles and contemporary practises. The School caters for primary and secondary education, Kindergarten through to Year 12, and includes a Preschool and Playgroups for under-sevens.. The school is built on Bundjalung Land. It is named after the Shearwater bird.

Shearwater was founded on 8 February 1993 as a small community Steiner School for the surrounding regional area. It was originally located in the home of two of the School's founders, Stan Stevens and Sally Davison, offering Kindergarten, Class 1 and Class 2. The school grew and was moved to the current location later in its first year.

The school's 52 acre campus is bordered by Mullumbimby Creek and includes a large biodynamic farm.

The school is known for its seasonal festivals and its annual student-led performing arts event WAVE (Wearable Arts Vision in Education).
