| Bowral | My name is Rachael and I'm the proud mother of a 17 month old son (as at 13/3/08). I have been looking for the right sort of school to send my son to, and it wasn't until I recently found out about the Steiner schools that I felt I had found it! I live at Bargo in NSW and was extremely disappointed to discover that Bowral Rudolph Steiner School only closed down recently. There are no other schools within an hours drive from here and I have heard that there are many parents wanting this school re-opened.

I am in Clarence Town NSW. I am
interested in hearing from anyone with ideas to start a Steiner School
within the Dungog Shire, or just out of it. The nearest Steiner
School is gorgeous, but would mean I have to spend 2 hrs a day driving
them there and back.
I'm also interested in starting a playgroup or after school centre if anyone is interested in this idea. I can be contacted by email. |

| Sutherland shire | We would dearly love to see a Steiner School in the Sutherland shire. With the nearest schools being the Blue Mountains or Northern suburbs, I feel this would compromise my children's chance of being part of their local community. I am so frustrated with the popular school system, I have even considered home education, but once again feel my children would miss out socially, and I perhaps become deranged! The Sutherland Shire is crying out for a Steiner School. I hope we blessed with one soon. | byronesque@exemail.com.au | 12th September 2005 |

Hi, I am hoping to find someone who is setting up a Steiner school somewhere in my area. I am more than happy to be involved in some way, I have children 7, 6 and 4 and live in Dulwich Hill. I notice that there has been lots of interest in the suburbs around this area and wondering if anything has been taken any further than just expressions of interest. Hurstville, Camperdown, Balmain, Leichhardt, Haberfield, Ashfield, Summer Hill, Enmore, Stanmore, St Peters, Petersham, Newtown, Annandale, Ashbury, Canterbury, Glebe are all about 10 minutes drive away from here (or closer).

So I would like to put it out there to see if any one is interested in starting a Steiner playgroup for 0-5years, once a week at Taren Point Public School. There is no rent involved and the school is willing to subsidize any start-up costs. |

many people, so lets together and work on this.

| Toowoomba / Darling Downs |
My family & I are considering moving to
Toowoomba to be closer to family ( my daughters grandparents on both
sides live there). I would be elated if a Steiner school was available
for my daughter to attend. I have done plenty of reading & research of
the schooling provided in Steiner school & believe they provide a
wholesome, well rounded education in a nurturing environment that I
would love to have available for my daughters' school years.
Is there anyone else in the Toowoomba /
Darling Downs area that feels the same. Myself & my husband would be
more than happy to help get a school started- if someone could tell us
how?
If this doesn't seem possible in the next year or two I would seriously consider moving the family to an area were our daughter can attend a Steiner school. Please contact me with any information about starting up a school in the Toowoomba region, if you think it would be possible. Warm regards

Hi my name is Rebecca Leonard I live in Batlow as small town near

other options for schooling to suit my children's creative needs, as I
feel that it is challenging for many small schools to meet all of my
children's needs, and art and music are areas that are often not
considered as important as other subjects. Does anyone know of any
schools in this area that are in operation or in the process of being
started? I am early childhood trained and would also be interested in
starting a early childhood program in this area or helping others with
ideas, thanks Bec.

Hi my name is Rebecca and my partner and
I are also located in the Redlands (east Brisbane) and would be very
supportive and willing to be involved in any initiatives starting up
in this area or surrounds.
I can see that there is a fair bit of
interest in this area for a Steiner school but unfortunately I
havn't heard of anything that has actually eventuated. I hope that
there is someone out there willing to begin something as I would be
more than happy to take on part of the responsibility.
It would also be wonderful if any other
mums and dads would be interested in starting up a playgroup which
encourages Steiner philosophies.
Please contact me if anyone has any info
or ideas regarding this matter.

Hi,
I'm very interested in a Steiner School initiative in my area. I'm in the Redlands, east of Brisbane, and have a 4 year old daughter. I've just started at the local public school and am quite unhappy with some of the goings on, thus am looking for alternatives. I'm even considering a move to Samford just to take advantage of this kind of education, however being a mum on my own makes the money side of things a bit tough. Let me know if there's anything I can do to be involved and help in such a project. Kerry |

I am very keen to send our daughter to a Steiner school. I have been
reading up about it a lot. The only one in Brisbane seems to be the
Samford Valley Steiner School which is quite a long way from where we

twice daily. Is there anyone interested in setting up a school on the

I look forward to hearing back from you.

work at the school. I'm not a qualified teacher but I can certainly
help out in a lot of other areas.

| Gold Coast (Currumbin) |
Hi,
My name is Jan I have a 15 year old son who is happy where he is but I have a 10 year old who has struggled in main stream education since she began. My closest Steiner school is about 40 min away and is just not practical at this moment to take on extra traveling and other cost associated and I am not just talking monetary. My son has a part-time job and I am a single parent so I can only realistically do so much. I live in the Currumbin area of the gold coast and would love to see my daughter attend a Steiner school. I also have helped many other single mums out with their kids and often here from them that main stream education is not fulfilling all their needs. It has taken me awhile to post as I am unsure of what it will take to get this off the ground. I believe that it is something I must do even if it doesn't directly help my own children. Just maybe someone else out their in my situation my have more opportunities for their children. Rome was built in a day and neither is a wonderful place like a Steiner school. So anyone else out their interested give me an email and see what we can create.
God bless Steiner schools here and everywhere around the world.
Thanks jan mackey |

We are a group of parents committed to establishing a Steiner stream
at a public school, commencing in 2010.
If your child is currently between ages 0 and 3 years – your child could commence and continue a Steiner primary education right here in the western suburbs of Adelaide. The school would open with classes Reception and Grade 1 and each year as that class moves on a level, a new class 1 is begun. Thus in 7 years a full primary school of Steiner classes is formed. We are seeking as many registrations of interest as possible to progress. Please visit our site at http://www.futurefamilies.com.au/western%20steiner%20school%20proposal.pdf and return the form to us asap. For more information regarding the proposed school, please email Heidi on heidi@futurefamilies.com.au |

My current State School has low enrolments, and I thought we could run a Steiner School alongside our Regular State School Program, thus retaining the school for the future, by offering a broader choice to the community.

We would like to continue the teaching as long as we can, but unfortunately there are no Steiner schools in Tokyo. That is the reason why we would like to start from home schooling.
