Principal's Welcome
WERTE AND WELCOME
From a dream 27 years ago to a thriving, innovative school, The Alice Springs Steiner School is honoured to be part of the vibrant Mparntwe community on Arrernte Country.
At our school, we seamlessly blend Arrernte teachings with our curriculum, incorporating the geography, history, language, and song of the surrounding Country. This promotes a deep sensitivity to the land and enriches the learning experience for all.
Our school community is dynamic, compassionate, and deeply committed to the success of every student. With dedicated and inspiring teachers, supportive parents, and enthusiastic friends, we create an environment where students can thrive. Through our holistic approach to education, we aim to ignite a lifelong love of learning, empowering students to use their unique talents to make a positive impact on others and the world.
Our curriculum reflects the three-fold nature of the human being, as described by Rudolf Steiner – thinking (intellectual development), feeling (aesthetic development), and willing (physical activity). In Early Childhood (up to age 7), we focus on physical development; in Primary School (ages 7-14), the emphasis shifts to aesthetic experiences; and in Middle School, intellectual growth takes centre stage. While we follow the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework, we tailor our approach to meet the needs of each student and embrace the unique opportunities of life in Central Australia.
As students transition from The Alice Springs Steiner School into high school, they demonstrate strong academic skills, emotional maturity, and the ability to turn ideas into action.
We invite you to explore our website and come in to meet us. Experience first-hand the supportive and inspiring learning community that makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you on a tour!
