GECKOS (German Community School Melbourne) Inc. was formed on December 13th 2013 and is an Incorporated Association with the State Government of Victoria. The principal purpose is operating as a community language school and immersing children in DACHL (German, Austrian, Swiss and Liechtenstein) cultures. We opened our doors in January 2014 for the first term of the school year.
Geckos is now over 100 students strong from kindergarten to grade 10, and adult classes across beginner and advanced levels.
We employ 14 teachers, and assistants. Our teaching is based on AUSVELS (Foundation to year 12) and offers two streams, native speakers and non-native speakers from school age onwards.
Our model is one of 4 hours of German language provision, every Saturday from 9 am – 1 pm with half an hour break.
The fourth hour is used for cultural activities ie, german soccer training, cooking, choir, newspaper projects, science projects etc
