Parents & Friends
Voluntary work for the school provides many an opportunity for people to make newer or deeper friendships within the school community and for the children to enjoy their parent’s involvement with the place they spend such a significant part of their days.
Parent Craft Group
The Alice Springs Steiner School runs a parent Craft Group that meet weekly during the school term. We supply all the materials for you to make wonderful works of Steiner-inspired art for sale at our Autumn Fair. And no need to worry if you can't sew – there are always plenty of helpers to support you and teach you the tricks that make the craft come together.
We’ve got lots of projects to work on – there is no nicer way to make new friends in our community. If you want to do your craft time at home, please get in touch with us. We particularly love to hear from woodworkers, as there appears to be an insatiable demand for handmade wooden Steiner toys! Please email office@alicesteiner.nt.edu.au to join.
School Working Bees
Our school community takes on some of the maintenance of the school. A lot of this happens at our regular Class Working Bees. Usually, parents come for several hours to use their muscles and enjoy a hot/cold drink and cakes. The results are remarkable and the improvements to the aesthetic nature of buildings and our beautiful grounds are a testimony to the value of working bees to the school. And, more importantly for many, they are energising and feel a sense of community by joining in.
School Garden Group
The school boasts a magnificent School Garden that is full of vegetables and provides produce all year round for our Produce Stall during the school term. All of our produce is grown bio-dynamically grown.
Parents and families are invited to join our Garden Group events run by the School’s Gardener throughout the year. Informal and friendly, they’re open to all who can drop in (children welcome). Garden Group is a great way to get to know new or different parents, and get out in the fresh air for some team-building fun. We also offer workshops in the garden at various times throughout the year. If you would like to join our School Garden group please email gardener2@alicesteiner.nt.edu.au
