Have you already collected bottles and cans for the Victorian container deposit scheme? https://www.vic.gov.au/container-deposit-scheme(https://www.vic.gov.au/container-deposit-scheme) You can now support Geckos by using our Partner ID at your collection point. You can donate the 10c per container refund and help fund things like teaching material, theater project 2024, new books for the library etc., one container at a time. Scan our barcode when returning eligible containers... Geckos gets your donation! Our partner ID is: C2000009022 A better way to recycle drink containers in Victoria! On 1 November 2023 Victoria’s container deposit scheme, CDS Vic, commenced. The scheme rewards Victorians with a 10-cent refund for every eligible can, carton and bottle they return. It is part of important work that is transforming Victoria’s waste and recycling system. CDS Vic provides shared benefits to the community, environment and economy by delivering: • more and better recycling • less waste - old containers become new ones • less litter - cut by up to half • hundreds of new jobs and economic opportunities across Victoria • opportunities for charities, community groups, environmental organisations, sports and educational organisations to raise funds • a cleaner, greener state. Check out Alexander trying out the donation system! How it works! • Participants purchase a drink. • Participants return their empty drink container to one of over 600 planned refund points across Victoria. • Participants receive a 10-cent refund for every suitable eligible container they return. Participants can choose to keep the funds or donate to a participating charity, community group, environmental group, educational organisation, or sports group. • Returned containers are then given a new lease on life. The material is recycled and remanufactured into a new product, saving it from landfill or littering the environment. Stay healthy and safe! The Entire Geckos Team ♥️

The internet (ahhhh)!!! It's a scary place so let's try to make it a little easier to understand... The Geckos website is the hub for our school. This is where enrolments happen, questions get answered, the latest news is posted and many many other things! Home Page(https://www.geckos.org.au) The Geckos home page has a few pieces of information that we recommend paying attention to. In particular the 'latest news' mural! This will show you some of the cool things our students get up to, alongside key term dates! About Page(https://www.geckos.org.au/about) While we also like to tell you about who we are, this is also a good place to learn why you should learn German! We offer a free trial lesson, so come along, say hello and experience what we have to offer! Help Centre(https://www.geckos.org.au/help) We want to try and answer all your questions before you have them! Take a look at our help centre and it's likely you'll find the answer there! Enrolment Page(https://www.geckos.org.au/enrol) This one has a bit more information, but let's talk through it! 1. We have a 'free trial' option. 2. There is an option for those looking to enrol playgroup! 3. Then we display our current enrolment plans! 4. If you want some advise... Annual is the best deal 😯 Is there more??? Look, that's a broad summary of our website and we really want you to go explore all the features! If you need even more help, there's always our 'Contact Us' page! We hope to see all of your shortly in a class on Saturday! Warm Regards, The Entire Geckos Team ♥️

erzlich willkommen an Alle!   Looking to learn German for you or your child?  Let Geckos help with that!    As a not-for-profit community school, German culture and community is the heart of our mission.   ​ Joining Geckos gives you the chance to connect with: 1. Other expat families 2. Explore your German heritage 3. Meeting others on the same journey 4. Add German as another language under your belt.   ​ At Geckos, we strive to create an environment of immersion. We make it a point to have German be the primary language in teaching and announcements.    We offer a range of German classes for children and adults. All students are accepted regardless of background and level of understanding. Geckos provides two streams for native and second-language speakers.    Our teachers are fully qualified in both credentials and passion. Many of our teachers and staff are German, have studied German, are returning students from our earliest classes in 2013, and now have children who now study at Geckos.    Our cultural activities after class foster a love for the language and culture that goes beyond the classroom. It's an opportunity to explore a multitude of rich traditions from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.     We’ll be waiting for you at Reservoir West Primary school from 9-12 on a Saturday morning.  (No matter your age, language proficiency, or background, we have a German class for you.)     We trust our system, so come for a free trial and let us prove it to you! ​   ​ ​ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION   • Our little community school offers a slice of home away from Germany.  • You can meet other German parents and set up playdates for your child to make friends with other German kids.  • Do you want your child to make friends with others from a similar background? • At Geckos you and your child can learn lessons on life and XXX in the proud language you’ve inherited.  • There is nothing more romantic than surprising your German spouse with poetry in their mother tongue.
