High School Initiative
We are very happy to announce that the Titirangi Rudolf Steiner High School (New Zealand’s fifth and only independent Steiner Waldorf High School) received provisional registration from the Ministry of Education from 8th June 2010 as its preliminary step toward full registration at a later date.
It has been part of the School’s long held vision to be able to provide a Kindergarten to Class 12 education on our extensive grounds of 29 hectares, and now, this vision is becoming a reality. Initially spearheaded by parents in the community, this development is a whole school initiative supported by the School’s Trust, College of Teachers and a group of enthusiastic and dedicated parents.
It is an exciting development, not only for our own school, but also for the Waldorf movement in New Zealand and worldwide, and anyone interested in connecting with this important impulse is welcome to join the High School Group to assist in its development.
The High School Group meets regularly to assist with tasks regarding buildings, finance, governance and communication.
The prospect of a Steiner/Waldorf High School has received much interest from current parents, as well as from newcomers to the school. Both are looking for secure pathways to Steiner/Waldorf High School Education and are especially excited about a full Nursery-Class 12 school on one site.
We have a small committed group who have begun their high school journey here. Although it is highly likely that more students will join this foundation high school class once it becomes more established, these initial years will reflect an embryonic stage for the greater numbers of students who have already indicated the wish to attend in the forthcoming years.
Anyone interested in connecting with this impulse can contact the school office 817-4386 or email trss.enquiries@gmail.com
