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.

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“.

6AB – The Dublin Experience

On April 5th, 2018 the 6A and 6B classes were accompanied by the Americans on their voyage to Ireland. With Herr Eichhorn and Frau Stadlmann to lead the excursion, we set off on our 7 day journey. Between classes at the English School in Dublin, we saw many main attractions, including Guinness Storehouse, Temple Bar, Bray, Glendalough, Croke Park Stadium, and Wicklow Jail, not to forget the amazing cliffs in Howth. Not only did we get to visit Ireland, we also got to stay with host families, which gave us the full Irish experience. Overall, the trip was fantastic, and future classes should look forward to this opportunity. Photos…

6AB in Dublin (April 5th – 12th, 2018)


„Dublin is a city apart, a place of whimsy, imagination and enormous fun. Here the word craic is supreme in all its forms – spoken, written or sung.“
(source)

 

Students of 6A and 6B, together with their English teachers Mag. Angela Stadlmann (6B) and Mag. Johannes Eichhorn (6A), hope to experience the great „craic“ – and YOU can do so, too.

English Project Weeks

It has become something like a sweet and very much appreciated tradition for our year-four students to take part in an English Project week in February.
This means a week of English only, a week spent with children from other classes, a week away from their regular teachers but with trainers from various parts of the English speaking world (from South Africa to Australia) and completely different and sometimes even astonishing backgrounds.

If you happen to see them walking along the corridors just ask them about their week and you will get feedback like „Great!“, „Such fun!“, „I haven’t realised my English is that good already.“

At the end of the week all 124 students show their fellow mates what they have been working on in their workshops (drama, photography, culture, …) .
