The children and teachers were delighted to host guest speaker Anke Maria – a local German biologist from ACT Frogwatch – today. We got to meet and hear from many of her froggy friends, and learn about their habits and environmental needs. There were lots of hands-on activities, games, puzzles and puppets to have fun with; and plenty of opportunities for the children to ask all their inquisitive questions.
A big thank you to everyone who helped to bake all those amazing goodies for our bake sale on the weekend. Our fundraising team and committee were delighted with the results…. as were the people who got to eat all those nice treats!

German Embassy helps us celebrate!
The German Australian Playschool is delighted to be the recipient of a kind and generous gift of a beautiful sand and water play activity table from the German Embassy in Canberra. The GAP turned 10 in December 2016, and it was lovely to receive such a great gift that will be used for years to come!
Spielwelt won in the best Community Organisation category of the ACT Multicultural Awards for 2016. The awards were announced in December 2016. We are very pleased to be the recipient of such a great award in the ACT… it just goes to show what a great community organisation you all belong to and help to create!
