Calendar & News
The Spatzenschule year is full of learning and cultural activities – including several informal gatherings throughout the year, such as dinners at local restaurants or the German Club.
We also organise a German lunch for the whole Toorak Primary School community once per term – always very popular! Proceeds go towards funding Spatzenschule programs and events.
