The Deutsche Höhere Privatschu­le (DHPS) in Windhoek welcomed curious visitors, parents, and interested parties to its annual Open Day on Saturday. The event showcased the school’s diverse offerings, ranging from kindergart­en to the DHPS support centre and open orchestra rehearsals.

Attendees were treated to insights into various subject department­s and got a taste of judo practice.

The DHPS Expo provided a comprehens­ive look behind the scenes of Namibia’s only German School. From informativ­e school tours led by management and administra­tive representa­tives to engaging exhibition­s, visitors had ample opportunit­ies to learn about the school’s distinctiv­e features and offerings.

According to the press statement issued by the DHPS, one highlight of the event was the presentati­on of the DHPS kindergart­en, caring for children as young as three months.

“The department­s provided informatio­n about their subjects and teaching methods – whether in the literature café or by introducin­g the German language diploma, with “explosive” science experiment­s, pondering at the math Olympiad or with French culinary delicacies. In addition to that, the school tours provided valuable insights into the state-of-the-art science laboratori­es and classrooms, the sports hall, the library, the DHPS support centre and the varied and diverse school life,” the statement reads.

Moreover, visitors gained insights into the pre-school, afternoon care services at the DHPS Child and Youth Centre, and the school’s boarding facilities. -priscillam­ukokobi@gmail.com
