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.

Last Saturday, our school grounds turned into a vibrant hub of sports, connection, and community spirit. The sports tournament, organized by the SMV, brought together staff members, students, and the board, who competed against each other in various groups with great enthusiasm and teamwork. In addition to the exciting matches, the event was enriched by a variety of food and sales stands. The bazaar offered a wide range of delicious treats and creative items, inviting everyone to explore and enjoy. The tournament was a great success and once again highlighted the strong sense of community at our school. A big thank you to the SMV for the organization and to everyone who contributed to making this day so special!

A special premiere took place at the German Embassy School Addis Ababa: for the first time, our school hosted a shared Iftar evening – a meaningful event centered around community, cultural exchange, and togetherness. The evening was thoughtfully organized by the Parents’ Council, whose dedication and effort made this special gathering possible. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, parents, students, and staff came together to break the fast. A rich and carefully prepared buffet offered a wide variety of dishes and contributed to making the evening truly memorable. The Iftar not only provided an opportunity to experience an important cultural tradition, but also strengthened the sense of community within our school – reflecting our values of openness, respect, and mutual understanding. A heartfelt thank you goes to the Parents’ Council and to everyone who contributed to organizing and supporting this wonderful evening.

This week, the German Embassy School Addis Ababa is once again represented at Didacta in Cologne, the world’s largest education trade fair. The event provides an important platform to connect with teachers and education professionals who are interested in working at German schools abroad. Our school is represented by Head of School Robert Hasse, Head of HR and Deputy Head of Administration Sonja Limberger, and Chairman of the School Board Shumit Chanda Wanner. Throughout the week, they are engaging with prospective teachers, presenting the DBSAA, and sharing insights into the unique opportunities of working at a German international school in Addis Ababa. They also had the pleasure of meeting former Head of School Martin Nutz, which made the visit to Didacta even more special. We are looking forward to many inspiring conversations and valuable new connections.
