INDONESIAN TEACHERS My name is Valissa Price. I am teaching Indonesian language at Linuwel School in the Hunter Valley, N.S.W.

Hi there,
I am a mother of a gorgeous 14 month old girl & am very interested
in Steiner education & would be interested in corresponding with
like-minded parents. I am considering starting my daughter (& I!) at
a Steiner playgroup this year but we live just under an hour's drive
from the nearest Steiner school. I am wondering how we will handle
commuting & if any other parents commute & how they, & the children
of course, cope!
Kind regards,
Jodi

Hello. I'm Tanja and currently live on the Darling Downs in
Queensland. We are researching a move to an area in New South Wales
(around Uki or Murwillumbah) to allow our three children, aged 7, 6
and 5 to attend a Waldorf/Steiner school. We would love to hear of
anyone residing in areas around Steiner schools in NSW. We require
good soil to enable us to continue growing nutritionally enhanced
natural food for our family. Look forward to hearing from anyone
with information on these areas.

I am a father of 3 children who all go to the Mount Barker
Waldorf School here in South Australia, my oldest Ethan has just
turned 13 and I plan to go down to Tassie later this year on a
motorcycle tour holiday with him. As a bit of a Rite of Passage
type trip for him. I have been down there earlier this year for
work so I know my way around a bit but could anybody suggest
some things that we might be able to do or see. I want to make
it a hard week or two of some extreme things and lots of nature
things too, maybe even some volunteering of some sort to really
strength his heart and make him appreciative of his life. We
will be roughing it with the accommodation too, mainly sleeping
in swags.
I would just love to make it a trip he will never forget with a
lot of learning's along the way.
If anybody has any ideas for things to do or offers of places to
stay I would be greatly appreciative.

| Hi. My name is Sue and I've been teaching music, mainly singing, at a Steiner School in New Zealand for the last two and a bit years. In June I am moving to Melbourne and I wonder if there is anyone who would like their house sat or needs a flatmate? Ideally you would have a fenced property, a piano and no cats so you could accommodate me and my elegant and very gentle and friendly retired greyhound Harry. Any ideas? |

Hi, I would like to hear from anyone with direct experience of the
Steiner School program. I believe in the Steiner School philosopy and
have a young girl who will be starting kindergarten soon. I worry that
the choices I make now will effect her school prospects over the course
of her life and so am eager to give all options my full consideration.
As we don't have a Steiner Secondary School near us, I am especially
eager to hear how Steiner educated children have coped with assimilation
into the mainstream at any level, including university. |

My name is Kristie Mullens and I am the proud parent of a beautiful
four year old crystal child.
Last year we were told our little boy was advanced for his age and
would get bored in a "normal" school. My husband and I have been
homeschooling him and as we are Pagan we don't necessarily believe
in the rigid routines some homeschoolers advise.
We would love to learn more about homeschooling using the Steiner
method and would like to hear from anyone who is using it. We intend
on sending Torren to a Steiner highschool when the time comes.

Hello
My name is Jenny and I have a wonderful 6 year old daughter. We
live in Elwood, Victoria. We are part of the St Kilda Steiner
Preschool Community. I am interested in talking to anyone who may
be interested in boarding in our home during 2007 for a small
contribution towards bills & be prepared to do some after school /
evening child minding . I have a small single room available. The
house is fairly old but in a great location near the beach, shops
and transport with a decent sized backyard - great for BBQ's. If
you are involved in a Steiner community in Australia or overseas and
have some child minding / teaching experience I would love to hear
from you to talk further. A car licence would be necessary as school
pickups may be involved.

Hi I have a daughter in Mount Martha Primary School on Mornington Peninsula which is a standard school. We want to move her to Mornington park Primary which offers a Steiner stream simply because she is not happy where she is and is a very creative child, so we are hoping the move will help her to start enjoying her schooling - rather than seeing it as a chore! Would love to hear form anyone who knows these schools or who has had similar experience with an academically bright child who is doing well but is just not 'happy' and thinks Steiner may be the answer. Best wisehs |

Hello! I have been involved with music and music theatre all my life, and with music and music theatre in Steiner schools and communities since 1991. I taught music and music theatre at the Orana School in Canberra from 1991 - 1993, and again from 1997 - 2000; and at the Mt. Barker Waldorf School from 1994 - 1996. I direct the Wayfarers (originally called Waldorf Wayfarers, now called Wayfarers Australia) - this is basically a choir which consists of anyone, child or adult, who loves singing, and is keen to be a part of choral workshops and performances. I move around Australia giving workshops, and encourage those interested to be a part of usually a once-a-year choral tour of somewhere in Australia or overseas. So far we have toured NSW, Tasmania, central and northern Australia, and Europe twice. In October this year we will be touring New Zealand; next year we will be performing in Perth and Adelaide in July. We sing a wide range of pieces, from European mediaeval, Renaissance, baroque, classical and romantic, and contemporary compositions from Australia and elsewhere, as well as folk songs from many cultures, rounds etc. I encourage musical literacy and the growth of aural comprehension. We most often sing in 3 or 4 parts unaccompanied; occasionally we add recorders, strings, percussion, piano or whatever; occasionally we add dance, mime, acting, speech, puppetry etc. I have published two books of songs (Songs of the Tree of Life, vol.1, for young children up to about class 3; and volume 2 for older primary children, high school and community choirs etc. Each of the books comes with 2 CD's. I am keen to hear from anyone interested in my giving a workshop where you live, or in having books, CD's etc. Once I have got to know people in a certain area, and know that their interest is ongoing, I donate a class set of both books and CD's. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in any of this. I have found that in many Steiner schools beautiful music is enjoyed, but is often not very adventurous or not quite accurate, while in other school systems the music taught, while often being well taught, is often crassly commercial, lacking subtlety and depth. I see my job as bringing these two worlds together ie imparting a high level of musicality to music of depth through inspirational creativity. Judy Clingan. |

| Hi my name is Louise and I have a son who has a physical disability. He is in a Steiner school at the moment, in year 6.Next year he is to start high school. At present he does not have a wheelchair that would enable him to attend the local state school and we are not keen for him to go there anyway. What we are looking for is someone to mentor us in providing a Waldorf curriculum for him to do at home. My four children have all been to a Steiner school for their primary years, so we have some understanding of Steiner education. If anyone could assist please contact us. Thankyou. | rockloh@bigpond.com | 7th May 2006 | ||
