23.01.2022 Our "Blue Dragon" (Year 5-6) class have been busy propagating plants to sell at the Oktoberfete. They're raising money to buy a composter and establish their own garden at the school. It's all their own initiative - well done, blue dragons.

03.01.2022 Overheard in the playground this morning: "I'm just on my way to pick up my Dirndl." A true "only at the Deutsche Schule Melbourne" moment. Of course, as people from the North of Germany will tell you, the Dirndl is more Austrian or "Bayrisch" (Bavarian) - just like Lederhosen. Originally worn by servants, the Austrian upper classes started to wear beautifully fancy Dirndln in the late nineteenth century - and you can still see them worn "in the wild" today, particularly in regional (and tourist) areas. And at the Oktoberfete, of course.

02.01.2022 We're well into planning for this year's Oktoberfete on September 13th - what do you like most about it? --- Wir planen gerade die diesjährige Oktoberfete (am 13. September) - was gefällt euch am besten daran?

01.01.2022 Herrlich - that's the only word for this glorious weather. Come down to the Oktoberfete & soak up some Stimmung (that's German for atmosphere). Today until 4pm, 96 Barkly st, North Fitzroy.

01.01.2022 There are just two months left until our very special Deutsche Schule Melbourne German Christmas Market - make sure it's in your calendar!
