Enrolment Procedure
We welcome your interest in enrolling your child at Shearwater, the Mullumbimby Steiner School. Shearwater is a double-stream K-12 school with a Preschool and Playgroups. Our average class size is 22 students.
While some of our classes are full with waiting lists, we currently have availability at some year levels in both the Primary School and High School.
We recommend families intending to enrol at Kindergarten level apply early and ensure they keep their contact details and applications up to date. As places in full classes are only made available by students leaving, it is difficult to say how long a child may wait for a place.
While date of application is taken into account, there are other factors that influence the decision to progress a child’s enrolment, including the family’s support of the School’s ethos, as well as their ability to pay fees. Students from other Steiner schools and siblings of enrolled students are given priority on waiting lists.
