In our English lessons the topic USA was covered. We concentrated merely on three aspects, but the students were interested in so much more. After gathering ideas, the students put themselves into groups to prepare a presentation on a topic they found interesting. One group told the others about the death sentence, another one taught them the elective system and a third explained what “Homecoming” really meant. One group chose the American Football final “Super Bowl”. As the students were asked to be creative, this group re-enacted that sporting event. Please enjoy watching the 7A-students’ version of the season’s final […]

On March 14th, all year 6+7 students went to see the play “Virtual Heroes”. This play is about two students Rita and Kevin, who don’t like one another at first but get to know each other in an online game called “Fantasycraft”. There they are the hero and heroine that they are not (yet) in real life. Their avatars Sapphire and Byron teach them to be confident and fearless, and of course, they fall in love with one another. One of our students, Denisa, was even asked on stage and had to translate a German letter into English. She did […]
On Thursday, May 5th, we, the 6A and a part of the 6B went to Graz with Mrs. Gassner and Mrs. Baumann. We visited the Banksy exhibition. We had previously discussed the topic of graffiti in our English class and that’s why we decided to go to an exhibition of one of the most famous graffiti sprayers in the world. Banksy is not only world famous but also anonymous. Nobody knows his true identity, which makes the exhibition even more special. After the exhibition we took a short break in the city centre and then walked up the Schlossberg. There […]
One of the topics the students have dealt with this year in the English elective was horror fiction. We looked at this genre from various angles. One was that every student had to write their own horror stories. Then they created audio-files. Here you can listen to the students telling their own stories: Johanna’s horror story Iman’s horror story Ecem’s horror story Ajla’s horror story Vanessa and Ziad’s horror story
On June 24th, 2021, our English Elective Subject of nine students and Mrs. Gassner visited an Australian pub as a reward for working hard throughout the year. The location was hidden next to the Albertina. There, we had the pleasure to eat some crunchy insects, such as mealworms and grasshoppers. It turned out to be a test of courage and we had to overcome our fear and disgust towards these highly interesting snacks. The myth of mealworms tasting like peanuts turned out to be wrong for most of the electives. For the others it tasted like nothing and to our […]
In diesen Klassenvorstandsstunden besprechen wir normalerweise all jene Probleme, die wöchentlich in einer 1. Klasse anfallen. Manchmal kann es aber auch vorkommen, dass in diesen Stunden der Fokus mehr auf dem liegt, was NICHT funktioniert. Dabei klappt so vieles sehr gut, aber wir alle neigen dazu, dem Negativen mehr Raum zu geben. Was wir dann machen? Aktivitäten, die die Klasse gemeinschaftlich etwas erleben lässt: Wir haben die Umgebung der Schule vom Mist befreit, uns am Spielplatz ausgetobt oder Sonnenblumen gepflanzt. Unsere Sonnenblumen sind mittlerweile sehr groß geworden und werden in den Sommerferien den Stadtbienen willkommene Nahrung sein!
We all know the beautiful, elegant side of Vienna. But did you know there is also a dark side that lies underneath?On Tuesday, Jan. 11th, we got introduced to it on our ghost tour with our tour guide Stefan and learned about many secrets we had never wished to be true.One of the disturbing stories we were told was about the catacombs underneath St Michael’s church. Only rich people had the privilege to get buried down there but at one point there was no more space for the corpses. So, the skulls and the big bones were put into the […]
Ende November übten sich einige ProfessorInnen der Erlgasse unter Einhaltung der Corona-Vorschriften in der Kunst des Adventkranzbindens. Das frische Reisig und die zur Dekoration der Kränze vorhandenen getrockneten Orangenscheiben und Zimtstangen erfüllten das Atelier mit weihnachtlichem Geruch. In der Zeit vor Corona waren das Binden und Dekorieren von Adventkränzen eine schöne vorweihnachtliche Tradition, bei der SchülerInnen und LehrerInnen gemeinsam Kränze herstellten. Der Reinerlös kam damals und kommt auch heuer einer wohltätigen Organisation zugute. Wir hoffen, dass diese nette Aktivität im nächsten Jahr wieder im größeren Rahmen stattfinden kann.
Am ersten Tag nach den Herbstferien konnten elf SchülerInnen der Klasse 1B den Nachmittag kaum noch erwarten. Gemeinsam fuhren wir zum Renaissancetheater, um uns dort das Stück Der kleine dicke Ritter anzusehen. Unsere Plätze waren am Balkon, von wo wir hervorragend auf die Bühne sahen. Das Stück war lustig, aber auch ein wenig spannend, denn immerhin ging es um Ritter, Schurken und Drachen. Auf der Bühne wurde getanzt, gefeiert, gekämpft und eine Insel von einem fiesen Drachen und einem noch übleren Baron befreit – der aber zumindest keine Menschen fraß. Wir alle hatten viel Spaß und freuen uns schon auf […]
