Sternschule Deutchlandsberg International Dalton School has once again re-opened its doors after the summer break for its excited students and growing team! Among many known happy faces they have many new fresh ones having joined them this year. Currently in Sternschule there are 89 children and this including ten new first graders. One has to say there is truly something special about starting a new school year. There is always that expectation and vital energy that makes everyone feel the positive vibrations in the air. After a seemingly disruptive and in many ways not easy last school year, due to covid restrictions and several lockdowns, the school team is now looking positively and hopefully that this year will bring everyone health and strenght.
That is all the children wish too, to see their teachers and friends and to be able to communicate, play and learn together.
It is wonderful to be back inside the walls of the school, such joy for the children to see their friends and greet their teachers. The team was finally able to start the new Erasmus project with a school from Slovenia. The name of the project is Promote Your Neighbour! Children will travel to Slovenia where they will connect with their peers through several activities aimed at improving their IT, language and social skills.
Many new faces among the team too, which is also exhilarating for everyone! Children have already settled in after the first few weeks and are ready for their Dalton education plans, organised and productive and very noticeably full of motivation! The school has new subjects rooms set up for the children and this has brought much satisfaction, curiosity and motivation! To see the children learning self-organisation, responsibility and consideration as the progress of their work is rewarding and moving. Here is to a successful new school year!
