6CD in Dublin/Bray (April 22nd – 29th, 2018)

“One’s destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things.”

– Henry Miller  

39 students of 6C and 6D are going to spread their wings on Sunday April 22nd, eager to explore Ireland and its windswept beauty, literary heritage and sublime countryside.

The culinary team of class 6D, consisting of Nicolaus, Benjamin, pastry chef Mona and Felix, has expressed their excitement by means of a traditional Irish rhubarb cake, which turned out to be a real treat for our taste buds.

Our travel schedule is crammed full of adventures, ranging from courses at our language school to traditional Irish dance to Wicklow Jail – and maybe even the Holy Grail, the Book of Kells.

Right now, suitcases are being packed, before we head to Bray, guided by our English teachers Ms. Zeller and Ms. Weißensteiner. We’ll be sharing plenty of impressions with students, parents, siblings and teachers and we appreciate your comments on our class padlets!

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.“

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.

Impressions of our English Project Week

Time flies when you are having fun – our week of total immersion into the English language passed so quickly! Get an impression of our yummy breakfast, interesting projects, extraordinary stories, dramatic sketches, excellent photos and last but not least, the funniest trainers in the world: Fotos

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, …) .

School Uniform Day

What if we had school uniforms at our school? How would we feel? What would be different? What would it look like if everybody wore the same? Would we lose anything?

The English teachers of all 5th forms (Prof. Bichler, Eichhorn, Führer, Haider and Voß-Peichl) decided to make an experiment, to enable students to really undergo a change and live to see, what it is like to wear a uniform and not just read and talk about it. Thus, all students dressed smartly (boys in suits and girls in skirts and blouses ). All the looks were on them, what a feeling!     Fotos …

The Hound of the Baskervilles – Vienna’s English Theatre

DSC_0961The students of the 4th and 5th forms enjoyed the thrilling and entertaining play THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES on May 4th. The star detective Sherlock Holmes and his good friend Dr Watson solved one their most popular cases and found the murderer of Sir Charles Baskerville near Grimpen Mire  (in our Kolomanisaal).  Everybody had a jolly good time.

Robbery at Silver Mansion

Sherlock Holmes better beware because there is a new detective in town!

Am Freitag, den 28.4. stellten die Schülerinnen und Schüler der 1A ihr schauspielerisches Talent bei einer englischen Aufführung unter Beweis. Nachdem sie engagiert eigene Drehbücher verfasst hatten, brillierten sie auf der Bühne und lösten die kniffligsten Fälle. Schlussendlich konnten alle gestohlenen Halsketten und das Familienvermögen wieder an die ursprünglichen Besitzer zurückgegeben werden.
