German Movie in the IFI
Our latest trip to the Irish Film Institute brought all TY students of German attended the German movie “ weil ich schöner bin”.This film by Frieder Schlaich, told the story of a 13-year-old immigrant girl struggling to remain in Germany in spite of her mother’s deportation.Watching a film through the medium of German gives you the opportunity to listen to real conversations by native speakers and hear the way they interact in real life situations. It also leaves you with a very rich feel for the German language and culture.We are looking forward to our next trip to the IFI with TYs to see “ About a Girl “ (Charleen macht Schluss) on March 28th 2016

Our 
last German and History trip brought us to the fascinating and vibrant German capital city Berlin in December 2014. Sixty three students and their six teachers embarked on a four day adventure of this historical and cultural city. Excursions included a visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration camp, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, a nuclear bomb shelter and the Sanssouci Palace (Potsdam) Other exciting activities involved bowling, ice-skating and a shopping trip to the world renowned Christmas markets. This was a fantastic opportunity for students to immerse themselves in German culture, history and language.
