【FH Waldorf Dictionary 3｜Rose Ceremony】🌹The Rose Ceremony is a traditional opening and graduation ceremony of Waldorf Schools. Its history can be traced back to 1919, when the world's first Waldorf school was established. 📚The rose ceremony at the beginning of each school year will have senior students building a rainbow bridge 🌈 for the newly admitted grade 1 students to pass through with singing🎶 and blessings. The newcomers will also receive a rose, which symbolises love, memory, heritage, humility and beauty, from the senior schoolmates🌹. In the graduation Rose Ceremony, the 1st-graders will present roses to the graduates to express sincere wishes for their bright future with pure hearts ❤️.

At the Rose Ceremony at 🌳Forest House🌳, we also invite the Waldorf kindergarten teachers of the first-year students to share poems with them and send them blessings for entering this new seven-year learning cycle. Our teachers will then vividly introduce the coming year's curriculum to the fresh parents and the rest of the grades. Their interesting stories told in lively ways fill the classes with joy and expectations and mark the beginning of a happy new school year🎉.
