Alternative Schooling Meeting 17 October 2012


Sonya has advised us of the following information

Fig Tree Community Alternative Schooling

Presentation and discussion next Wednesday at the Bellingen Library on Alternative Schooling.  A proposed opportunity for Bellingen to have The rainbow Fig Tree Learning Community for a small group of K-2 (5 - 7 year old). They are looking for a shelter in a rural setting to hold this program.   This is an alternative to home or mainstream schools.  I personally think this would be an asset to the community and was thinking it may be worth putting an add in the next Transition mail out.  If this is applicable and there is time the details are below.  

The Rainbow Fig Tree Community are proposing a three-day a week project in the Bellingen area.  The program is influenced by Reggio Emilia, Steiner, Ecological, democratic classroom and compassionate communication theories.  This is for a small group of K -2 (5 -7 age group)  If any one has a small premies in  a rural setting that may be suitable to hold such a program please contact Bronya

Presentation and discussion will be held on Wednesday. October 17.  Bellingen Library meeting Room - 4pm  or contact Bronya and John - 0439311 884.
