On 30 May 2026, the German Embassy School Addis Ababa celebrated the graduation of Grades 9, 10, and 12 in a festive and memorable ceremony. Students, families, teachers, and distinguished guests came together to honor the graduates and celebrate their achievements. The event opened with a beautiful piano performance by Tim Schulte, setting a wonderful tone for the afternoon. This was followed by a number of inspiring speeches, including remarks by Dr. Ferdinand von Weyhe, Chargé d’Affaires of the German Embassy. The official program concluded with the presentation of certificates and diplomas, particularly for the students of the IB Diploma Programme. Following the ceremony, guests were invited to a reception before the celebrations continued into the evening. Catering was provided by the Hilton Hotel, creating a pleasant setting for conversations and shared memories. Later, the festivities continued with music and dancing as the school gymnasium was transformed into a dance floor. Our sincere thanks go to everyone who contributed to making this special evening possible – including our students, teachers, staff members, parents, and all those who worked behind the scenes. We wish all graduates every success and happiness as they begin the next chapter of their journey.

As part of the fifth edition of a long-standing inter-school sustainability project, students from the DBSAA and Lycée Guebre-Mariam took part in a special day dedicated to environmental awareness and the French language. Working in mixed groups, the students created calligrams on tote bags to illustrate environmentally friendly actions such as recycling, saving water, and protecting nature. In the presence of the leadership teams of both schools, the winners of a Padlet competition were recognised, followed by a shared snack and a friendly picnic. As an ongoing initiative, the project encourages students to practise French in a creative way while strengthening their awareness of environmental issues.

On 7 May 2026, the German Embassy School Addis Ababa had the honor of participating in Europe Day 2026 at the Sheraton Addis. A special highlight of the event was the performance of our school choir under the direction of our teacher Pascal Koverbasic. The musical presentation was highly praised by both the guests and the organizers and was a great success. It was especially wonderful that many parents from our school community were also able to attend the event, allowing our school to present itself in the best possible way. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the successful organization and execution of this event, as well as the organizers for their kind invitation and the excellent event.
