Year 11 German Careers Day Excursion

The Year 11 German students from Vermont Secondary College had a fantastic day out at the 2024 German Careers Day held at the University of Melbourne last Friday. Hosted by the Goethe-Institut, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and both the University of Melbourne and Monash University, this exciting event offered students a unique opportunity to explore diverse career paths and see the real-world benefits of learning German. The students engaged with industry experts, learned about global career opportunities, and gained insights into study abroad options in Germany. In the afternoon, our students were treated to a special theatre performance “Cut Kafka”, which showcased a selection of Kafka’s works in German. 

Congratulations to Jitho, Runner-Up in the 2024 AGTV German Song of the Year!

We are thrilled to announce that Jitho, one of our Year 9 students at Vermont Secondary College, has been awarded Runner-Up in the 2024 AGTV German Song of the Year competition for his original composition, "Wo seid ihr alle?" Jitho’s dedication and passion for music and language shone through in both the performance and the song writing process, capturing the audience's and judges' attention alike. His achievement not only showcases his musical abilities but also highlights the language skills he’s developed through his German studies. Tolle Arbeit, Jitho!
