Linuwel School - Enrolments

Enrolments

1. Approximately twelve boys and twelve girls will be accepted into each Kindergarten year group. When accepting an enrolment the Kindergarten teacher may consider: the date of application; the enrolment of siblings in the school; and the parent(s)’ demonstrated commitment to Rudolf Steiner education. A diversity of backgrounds is welcomed within the school.

2. Acceptance of additional students into classes 1-10 is at the discretion of the class teacher, taking into consideration the dynamics of the class as well as the factors above.

3. In the case of students entering Years 7-10, enrolment is probationary for six months, i.e. during or at the end of that time the class teacher can cancel the enrolment if the student is not integrating successfully into the class and school.

4. Enrolment occurs after an interview process. The first step is for prospective parents to arrange to meet the relevant class teacher at the school, with the child. At this meeting the parents and child see the school environs and classrooms and are introduced to the operation of the school and basic principles of Steiner education. In turn the teacher learns about the child and is informed of any factors which may have a bearing on the child’s school life. If the parents are still interested in enrolling their child they are given the “Information for Parents” handout and asked to contact the teacher after having reflected on the meeting and the information received. If there is no place currently available but the teacher would otherwise accept the child then the child’s name is placed on a waiting list. If a place is available and the teacher is willing to accept him or her, further meetings will take place where arrangements can be finalized and an enrolment form issued.
On receipt of the signed enrolment form and a non-refundable enrolment fee of $200 the child’s place is secured. A bond of $500 is payable to the school during the term prior to the child’s starting date. This will be refunded when the child leaves the school, less any deductions for unpaid fees or charges.
