College visitors unmasked

FIVE German students were given a taste of Australia as they spent time at Monbulk College last month.
While they were there, not only did they take part in local classes, but they also visited primary classes studying German at Mt Dandenong Primary School and Sassafras along with some of Monbulk’s year nine students.
“The Germans spoke about festivals in Germany and we all did a joint activity making Karneval masks,” teacher Shani Vander-Young said.
“I think this was great in building bonds between the German classes at our school and the primary schools.”
As part of celebrating the visiting German students the school also held a Bretzel Day at Monbulk College.
Bretzels are like huge pretzels and are a favourite fast food in Germany.
A German bakery Bretzel Biz made them fresh in the morning and delivered them to the school.
