Exchange
The Mount Barker Waldorf School is registered as an exchange organisation. Our exchange program has been operating now for over fourteen years with the aim of providing our students with an opportunity to study in another Waldorf school in an overseas country, while at the same time enriching our school life with the inclusion of students from different cultural backgrounds.
We have hosted students from Waldorf Schools in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Denmark, Sweden, South Africa, the USA and Canada. We have also hosted students from countries such as Japan, Colombia and Norway who have come to Australia with other exchange organisations.
Most students start to consider an exchange in Class 9 and the preferred time for this to take place is class 10 or the first half of class 11. Each year, in a parent/teacher evening of class 9, a presentation will be given outlining exchange options. Letters of interest from overseas students are on file in the office and copies are sent to classes 9, 10 and 11.
There are external conditions placed upon the school as a consequence of the need to be accountable as an exchange organisation and internal conditions and expectations that the school will place on both student and family before the exchange can be formalised.
