Campus: English Week
To round off the summer holidays, 29 students experienced a varied and exciting week dedicated to the English language: English was not just learned, but spoken, experienced, and applied throughout the entire week!
Whether during the shared American Breakfast, the scavenger hunt through Seebenstein, the exciting detective game, or an action-packed sports session—teamwork, creativity, movement, and of course, plenty of English were required everywhere.
A week full of fun, adventure, and shared experiences, where our students were able to use their English skills naturally and with great enthusiasm.
Kindergarten: Our Start
We have started the new kindergarten year with great joy and curiosity! In the first few weeks, the focus is primarily on getting to know each other, settling in, and feeling at home.
The children meet new faces, make their first friends, and discover our rooms and the daily kindergarten routine together. Through shared games, conversations, and many small experiences, we are growing together as a group. We give the children the time and space to arrive at their own pace, build trust, and let new friendships blossom.
We look forward to a wonderful kindergarten year together, full of new experiences, encounters, and shared adventures!
A Special Day
At our birthday celebrations, the birthday child is the center of attention. They get to consciously experience their special day within the group and enjoy the attention and appreciation of the community. Glowing candles, shared birthday wishes, and a cheerful birthday song make the moment truly special. Afterwards, we sit together comfortably and enjoy a shared snack.
In this way, we give each child a special moment in which they are seen, celebrated, and valued.
Primary School: Good Habits
Our primary school children in the second grade are getting to know Bea the sheep. She shows them how important good habits are in everyday life. Each child has chosen a family goal to practice at home. At school, the focus is currently on the topic of order, as structure and order provide security. To this end, we are practicing things like tidying up pencil cases neatly.
Secondary School: Pilgrimage
It has already become a beautiful tradition for the first-grade classes of the secondary school to go on a pilgrimage to Maria Schutz. With this pilgrimage, we want to entrust the entire secondary school period to the intercession of the Mother of God and ask for God’s blessing for the coming school year.
This year, too, numerous parents accompanied us on this journey. The Rector of the pilgrimage church gave us a warm welcome, and we celebrated Holy Mass together.
After a fortifying doughnut snack, Sister Aloisia told us the story of how Maria Schutz originated and explained the significance of the small spring behind the altar. Afterwards, we visited the Lourdes Grotto at the foot of the Sonnwendstein, where we learned more about the life of Saint Bernadette.
The pilgrimage offered a successful start to the new school term and strengthened the sense of community among our students.
After-school care: Summer Holidays in After-school Care
There was also plenty going on at the Stella Seebenstein after-school care during the summer holidays! The children had lots of fun and experienced varied holiday days. Whether discovering nature, observing animals, doing crafts, playing, or exercising—there was something for everyone. When the weather was nice, a lot of time was naturally spent outdoors enjoying the sun. There was plenty of laughter, play, and shared experiences.
