Autumn Fair 2025

Welcome to The Alice Springs Steiner School Autumn Fair!

The Autumn Fair has been a cherished tradition in our community for many years. Entirely run by our school families, this special event is an important fundraiser that supports new projects and resources for our school.

In the coming weeks, we will send out a link for signing up to volunteer on the stalls. Your Class Stall Coordinators will also be in touch soon with details on what needs to be done and how you can help.

Get Involved Now

• Passata Jars needed: Class 2 are collecting pasta sauce/ passata jars. Please leave in the box outside Class 2.
• Preserve Making & Jar Collection: Start making preserves and collecting clean, label-free jars to donate. We have set up a collection point for jars and glass bottles in the alcove near the kitchen. These will be used for jams, preserves, chai, and lemonade. More details and recipes below.
• Craft Sessions: Regular craft sessions are already happening—come along and get creative!

Food Safety

With so many food stalls and baked goodies at the fair, we encourage as many people as possible to complete this free, 30-minute online food handling course: https://dofoodsafely.health.vic.gov.au/index.php/en/

For questions or to volunteer, please contact your Class Coordinators or the Fair Volunteer Coordinators. Otherwise, reach out to any Class 4 parent, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

The school holidays are a great time to make preserves!

Here’s a helpful guide to sterilising jars and some recipes: https://youtu.be/UbQfLEca-5o?si=qFwnhFwXEemY7qrI
