Virtual Benedictine Exchange Program

Virtual Benedictine Exchange Program

Das STG Melk bietet seit einigen Jahren einen Schüleraustausch mit dem Rosebank College in Sydney, Australien. Aufgrund der Coronabeschränkungen war eine Durchführung in den letzten beiden Jahren nicht möglich. Daher initiierte unsere australische Partnerschule ein virtuelles Benedictine Exchange Program an dem mehrer Schulen teilnehmen konnten. Dabei erarbeitete jede Schule in einem Projektvideo die Auswirkungen der Coroanpandemie auf Schule und Gesellschaft. Der Beitrag unserer Schule wurde von der 7A eingereicht.

English Project Week

Speaking English six lessons a day? Learning grammar while having fun? Writing poems and stories, singing songs and acting out sketches? Talking to natives from all over the world?

If you can answer these questions with a YES then you are definitely one of 142 fourth formers taking part in this year’s ENGLISH PROJECT WEEK! What a blast!

Edinburgh and the Highlands

An amazingly mind-blowing week is over but its impressions, memories and experiences gained will last! Classes 6A and 6B fully enjoyed this week of total immersion into the Scottish and English culture, where new people were met, new food was tried, unknown places were explored and scenic landscapes were discorvered.

The programme of the week was rich and the weather fantastic. We explored Edingburgh, felt like Princess Diana on the Royal Britannia, climbed Arthur’s Seat at sunset, hiked through the Highlands, fed Highland cows, listened to the tragic fate of the Mac Donald Clan, looked for Nessi, danced ceilidh, ate Haggis and even went swimming in the sea at Portobello Beach!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scotland and Edinburgh

Students of 6A and 6B toghether with their teachers Prof. Weißensteiner and Prof. Voß-Peichl are packing their suitcases to set off for a new destination – Edinburgh / Scotland. We are all looking forward to a week full of lasting impressions and fun activities. The highlight will probably be our Highland Tour at the weekend. We should watch out for Nessie and make sure not to mix up Càite bheil an taigh beag? and A bheil thu ‚g iarraidh a dhanns?

“To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness” – Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1542 – 87)

Frankenstein and our creatures

After reading the new class reader, the graphic novel Frankenstein, and talking about various aspects dealt with in this classic novel, class 6a received bags full of „junk“ – paper clips, pieces of felting, toy eyes, corks, straws, dressings etc. The task was to create a creature of their own and invent a life story for them. Enthusiastically class 6a started to play creators!  We are looking forward to the presentations and „Book of Lives“.

Letters from England

The students of the 2nd form have received a very special parcel these days. It contained about 80 letters from England, each and everyone of them written in German by students of Maidstone Grammar School for Girls, a girls-only grammar school in southeast England. The senders are in their second year of learning German as a second language and told our students about their personal life, their family and pets as well as their last summer holidays. The letters were decorated very nicely with photos, drawings and colours, so that our students were already eager to answer their newly found penfriends, this time in English of course.
