Children’s Division
This division caters for children of primary and secondary school age (generally 5 to 18 years). We aim to instill students with the confidence required to undertake formal accreditation in the German language.
Placement of students is based on age and prior knowledge (if any) of German. Depending on the learning abilities of students, teachers apply a variety of techniques in the classroom, including the use of language games and song as well as a progressive text book series.
Lessons are run each Saturday morning during school terms at Alfred Deakin High School, Denison Street, Deakin. Reports are issued to students each year, and a prize-giving ceremony takes place at the beginning of December.
The Children’s Classes Division gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Commonwealth and the ACT government, enabling tuition fees to be kept at very reasonable levels.

Students will have to purchase text books and work books which are available through the school. Also students are required to supply their own pens/pencils and note books.
