But what does PETT do exactly, we hear you ask?

Well, PETT was formed some years ago to introduce parents and friends of Orana to the fascinating and inspiring world of Steiner Education, which we have done in the past through a great variety of workshops, seminars and talks.

The journey of the parent of a child in a Steiner School can be a personally enriching, exciting and sometimes challenging and puzzling one. Yes, you can go and read all the books in the Parent Library but we also hope that you will come along to some of our events as well. Many parents in the past have found that the learnings they have taken away with them have enabled them to feel more comfortable in supporting their children on their journeys, and deepened their own appreciation of the extraordinary benefits of a Steiner education.

During the year PETT organises workshops, talks and classes by local or visiting speakers on a variety of topics. Topics have connection with the work of Rudolf Steiner, and particular emphasis is placed on the development of the child and educational issues. These activities are generally open to the wider public as well as the school community. Ongoing artistic workshops and study groups are also arranged from time to time. Details of activities are announced in the paper school bulletin, the PETT webpage, or are available from the school office. See below for the current programme.

Please book at the Office (email or phone 02-62884283) if you intend to come to an activity.  Knowing numbers helps in planning.
