Goethe-Institute's Language Maintenance Courses are back this summer! Study German in the morning and take a dip at Bondi Beach in the afternoon – or participate in one of the workshops offered in the afternoon. 

The Languages and Culture team is offering partial scholarships to support teachers of German 7-12 from NSW public schools to attend the Language Maintenance Courses at Woollahra. The scholarships will cover $300 towards the event registration fee and up to $300 towards travel and/or accommodation expenses. 

If you are a teacher of German 7-12 in a NSW public school, and are interested in receiving support to attend this valuable professional learning event, please read the information on the attached EOI, and send your completed form to Evia Kyriacou by 5pm on Monday 6 January 2020.

To learn more about the courses, contact the Goethe-Institut's language department in Sydney, visit their website or call 02 8356 8343.

The Goethe Institute 2018 German Summer School on Ocean Street will run from 8-15 January 2018 (program attached below). This event provides a targeted immersion experience for German learners/teachers at various levels of language competence, and also offers a five-day professional learning module for teachers with a language level of B1 and above.

The Summer School will be run as a day program at the Goethe Institute in Woollarah (Sydney) this year, rather than in a residential format, so attendees will need to organise their own accommodation for the week. The Summer School is open to both government and non-government teachers.

The NSW Department of Education would like to support secondary German teachers from NSW public schools to attend this valuable professional learning event and is offering up to five partial scholarships to secondary teachers of German currently employed in NSW public schools.

The scholarships will cover 50% of the event registration fee plus up to $500 towards accommodation and travel expenses. 

Note: Members of the NSW MLTA are also eligible to apply for funding for up to 50% of the event registration cost. 

If you are a secondary teacher of German in a NSW public school, and are interested in receiving support to attend this professional learning event, please complete the attached EOI and return it with a one page supporting statement to Michelle Walls by 5pm on Friday 17 November  2017. 

If you have any questions regarding the scholarship opportunity, please contact Michelle Walls on (02) 9244 5573 or via email.
