MELBOURNE RUDOLF STEINER SCHOOL – ENROLMENT INFORMATION
KINDERGARTEN
Kindergarten is one of two main entry points into the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School and we have an open entry policy for Kindergarten. Places are offered to siblings of currently enrolled students and are then offered in order of application date. All applications are placed on a waiting list and positions are offered for Kindergarten approximately 18 months in advance of commencement. Parents/guardians whose children are offered a place for Kindergarten may either choose to enter their child in our optional Ring-a-Rosie Kindergarten (3 turning 4 year olds) for the year prior to Kindergarten or else commence with Kindergarten (4 turning 5 year olds).

CLASS 7
Class 7 is the second main entry point into the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School. When we look for new students we are seeking families and students who will integrate well into the existing class and school community, and who we believe will thrive within our system and have a positive impact on the other members of our school. We consider a range of criteria, including whether they are siblings of existing students, the date of application, the student’s previous Steiner education, whether they are children of staff or past MRSS students, the social and cultural fabric of the current class, and the capacity to pay school fees.
