THE ALPINE SCHOOL TO OPEN IN COOMA NEXT YEAR

A new primary school is set to open in Cooma in 2019.
According to its founders, Lyndall Dean and Allen Caldwell, The Alpine School will be a modern co-educational and non-denominational Steiner school which will offer a holistic education for children from Kindergarten to Class 6.
Lyndall explained that the impetus for creating The Alpine School was “a recognition of the strong community desire for a high-quality alternative to mainstream education” in the form of a Steiner school, and so in mid-2017, preparations commenced to bring The Alpine School to life.
One of the first steps was to establish a strong and diverse board of directors from the community, which includes Mike Mesley, Mark Kenmir and Yvi Henderson.
The old St Pats Infants’ School on Mittagang Road in Cooma was purchased earlier this year as the home of The Alpine School, and refurbishment work of the buildings will begin shortly.
