Autumn Fair 2025
Welcome to The Alice Springs Steiner School Autumn Fair!
As fellow parents at The Alice Springs Steiner School, we wanted to share a little about school’s major fundraiser for the year – the Autumn Fair. If you haven’t experienced it yet, you’re in for something truly wonderful!
The Autumn Fair has been a cherished tradition in our community for many years. It’s a time when we come together to celebrate the season, enjoy beautiful handmade crafts, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. What makes it so special is that it’s entirely run by our school families – from baking treats to running stalls and organising activities, everyone plays a part in bringing the Fair to life.
The Fair is an important fundraiser for the school, helping to support new projects and resources. But more than that, it’s a time to meet other families, build friendships, and feel a real sense of belonging within our school community.
Each class is responsible for running a different stall and nominates an Autumn Fair Class Coordinator (or Coordinating Group) who is responsible for their class stall on day and recruiting volunteers.
Class 4 Parents are responsible for the overall Fair coordination. Here is a list of the roles and who we have so far:

Thank you for those who have signed up already!
If you are interested but unsure, there is a wealth of knowledge, information and practical assistance available how to run each stall - so don’t worry if you’ve never done it before. All you need is some time & enthusiasm :)
We can’t do this without your help! We’d love for you to get involved in any way that suits you – whether it’s helping to set up, volunteering on your class stall, baking a cake, or making some preserves. It’s a beautiful experience, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Please contact Jo or Elise, the Fair Volunteer Coordinators to volunteer or if you have questions (details are in the table above)
Otherwise reach out to any Class 4 parent & we can point you in the right direction.
Warmly,
Deidre & Jimmy
Fair Coordinators
