Children’s Division

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.

PLEASE NOTE that Monday after-school classes are being trialled in 2013. These classes are intended for children in the age range 4-7 years (children to 10 years may be also accepted on a case-by-case basis). Classes run from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at the Turner Scout Hall (home of the Spielwelt German Parents Association and German Australian Playschool).

The Children’s Division gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Commonwealth and the ACT governments, all of which helps keep tuition fees at reasonable levels.
