Welcome to the German Saturday School
in Melbourne, Australia

The German Saturday School caters for Melbourne children from Pre-school to Secondary level, and is located in the inner north-east of the city in the suburb of Clifton Hill. Our students range in age from 4 to 17 years old, and attend the school on Saturdays during the normal school term. All our teachers are native German speakers and have recognised qualifications. The school caters for both students with German language background and those without.

The German Saturday School is a non-profit organisation that is run, organised and administered by an annually elected parents' committee. It is financed through student fees which are subsidised by Community Ethnic Education, the Victorian Department of Education and the German Consulate.

German lessons are conducted at the school according to a teacher set curriculum which is designed according to the students’ year level and competency. Generally, lessons combine Grammatik, writing, cultural projects as well as games and fun activities. We include an annual excursion with a German cultural focus and end the school year with a Christmas concert. Other highlights of the school year are the annual Christmas party and the German breakfast at the AGM.
