Our new Primary School site with large open and natural spaces will be open in 2019.
It is with great pleasure that we announce the purchase of two properties, an existing house on 3.2 acres at 368 St Leonards Rd, and an adjacent vacant block of 1.58 acres. This exciting development will allow us to establish a permanent campus for the Tamar Valley Steiner School. It is anticipated that the primary school (Classes 1-6) will move to our new site in 2019, with Kinder and Prep moving as soon as practical. The properties have a lovely aspect and come with many established gardens including a variety of fruit trees and large grassed play areas. Many people have worked tirelessly to see this project come to life, from the first members of the Rainbow Garden Playgroup, the founders of the Northern Tasmania Steiner Association, Administration and Teaching staff, to the members of the School Council past and present. Words cannot convey the depth of our gratitude for those who envisaged our school and those who have guided it. It is with deep respect and reverence that we embark on this next exciting stage of our school’s journey. Tamar Valley Steiner School Council |
Our Sites
The school is currently located on 2 transitional sites.
The Kindergarten/Prep class and Rainbow Garden Playgroup are held at the Old Nurse’s Recreation hall at 41 French Street, which has been the location of the Playgroup since 2007. The classroom has been lovingly created by community volunteers in keeping with Steiner early childhood principles of design.
The outdoor area been thoroughly enjoyed by little ones over the years and has a cubby, sandpit, vegetable gardens and several unique play areas such as hiding places behind the ferns.
During 2016 and 2017, the outdoor play area was expanded to incorporate another larger area at the back of the building to create further opportunities for active outdoor play.
