All the Fun of a Traditional Village Fair

Roll up! Roll up! This year’s Central Coast Steiner School Spring Fair promises more fun than ever with an old fashioned Sideshow Alley to keep the children engaged all day long.

This Fair has a reputation as a unique and affordable family day out with wholesome activities such as candle making, T-shirt painting, crystal mining and boat building. This year children of all ages will be able to test their strength and skill with new games like the Hoopla, Coconut Shy, Tin Can Alley and Mouse Hunt. Soak up the atmosphere of an English village funfair with stallholders dressed in period costume, traditional craftspeople displaying their skills, roving entertainers and even a fortune teller to reveal your future.

It’s lucky the children will be so busy, because parents will need plenty of time to browse the new Handmade Market. You’ll still find the traditional Steiner-inspired toys and gifts but this year a greater range of beautiful, handmade items using natural materials will be available.  A perfect opportunity for some early Christmas shopping. As always, you’re sure to find a bargain at the White Elephant Stall and Silent Auction.

Enjoy some delicious home-cooking in the Big Top Café or fresh fruit salad in The Rainbow Café. Relax with a coffee in the Courtyard Coffee Shop or take a break in the Chai Tent. Everywhere you’ll enjoy the friendly Spring-time atmosphere and with free entertainment, in a peaceful bushland setting, you’ll want to stay the whole day.

Of course, the Open Day is also a great opportunity to view primary and high school student’s work and find out more about the Steiner education curriculum. 

Enjoy the Central Coast Rudolf Steiner School Fair & Open Day on Sunday 12^th September from 10am to 3pm at Catamaran Rd (off Enterprise Dr) Fountaindale. For more information contact the school on tel 4362 3400.

ENROL NOW for The art of living creatively 2010

The art of living creatively is a one year course that takes people on a healing and creative journey using personal and artistic development.

The course is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Psychophonetics (a creative counselling modality) and the expressive arts (pastel drawing, watercolour painting, sculpture, poetry and creative writing). It is run by practitioners who have trained in psychotherapy/counselling both in Australia and in our sister college in South Africa.

‘The art of living creatively’ is comprised of five modules:

• Restoring inner peace

• Soul drawing

• The art of relationship

• The healing power of sound

• The healing power of art

We are now open for enrolements for 2010. At this stage we have limited numbers for the course, a maximum of 10 places (to ensure each participant gets the opportunity to work closely with the facilitators).

The course will run over four terms. The 7 x 3 hr classes (per term) are held on weekday evenings with 4 full day art workshops held on Saturdays throughout the year. The 2010 venue will be in Kew with four workshops in Abbotsford.
