Trotz hitzefrei und Vorferienstimmung waren die Schülerinnen und Schüler der 9B mit Spaß, Neugier und ergebnisorientiert bei der Sache.

Vera’s first role at the NMS was in 2012 when her daughter Lilli joined the school. As a parent she was already an active member of the school community, helping out wherever she could. At the beginning of 2015 she became a member of the Madiba Choir and it wasn’t long before she joined the NMS social pedagogue team. Her arrival was like a breath of fresh air and she soon became a highly valued member of staff. When she joined the team she brought a great deal of experience with her.Having studied social pedagogy, Vera later trained as a mediator. She had worked in both the private and public sector and had spent five years in San Diego where she worked with young offenders.

Abschiedsnachricht von NMS Principal Gerald Miebs

Liebe Schulgemeinde,
zum Ende des Schuljahres werde ich –wie schon länger angekündigt- die Nelson-Mandela-Schule verlassen und mich noch einmal einer neuen spannenden Herausforderung stellen. Ich übernehme die Deutsche Schule Kiew, eine noch recht junge deutsche Auslandsschule, die sich im Aufbau befindet und an der noch eine Menge „Pionierarbeit“ anliegt.

Miebs

Ich gehe mit einem „lachenden und einem weinenden Auge“, denn eine solche Aufbauaufgabe zum Ende meines Berufslebens ist natürlich sehr motivierend und wie gesagt spannend, andererseits hatte ich auch an der Nelson-Mandela-Schule eine sehr abwechslungsreiche und lebendige Zeit, die ich nicht vermissen möchte.

Ich wünsche Ihnen und Ihren Familien und natürlich der Nelson-Mandela-Schule alles Gute für die Zukunft!

Gerald Miebs

Mobile Learning at NMS

In May, around 60 sixth-graders participated in the NMS Media Literacy Assessment trial. The school devised this mobile assessment, creating an interactive quiz on the Berlin platform Actionbound, to assess our sixth-graders’ knowledge of the Internet and of social media, as well as online creation and data processing.

The students that attended were able to listen to a variety of career presentations and talks by parents and friends. Students got to hear about life at the British Embassy, working at the Charité, working in costume and films, politics, and much more!
