COME IN! – These were the open days at the Bad Gleichenberg private schools – 10 & 11 November 2023

The open days of the tourism schools were a highlight for all the senses!

After a warm welcome, the programme included school presentations and school tours led by the first classes.

In addition to the accommodation options in the student houses, visitors were able to find out more about the extensive foreign language programme, which includes French, Italian and Spanish as well as English, and listen to the exciting experiences from the summer internships.

Afterwards, the META Competence Centre offered the opportunity to enter METAVERSE with VR glasses and explore the wide range of tourism applications.

Thanks to the cooperation between META and the public schools in Bad Gleichenberg, which is unique in Austria, TSBG pupils can benefit from the latest technical developments in the field of virtual reality. 3^rd and 4^th grade pupils then presented their charity projects, which are planned every year in event management lessons and then implemented across all subjects.

Those interested in sport had the opportunity to see for themselves the wide range of activities on offer in the sports hall and the campus’s own fitness centre and to test themselves at some of the stations.

They were able to try sushi in the teaching kitchen at Asia Cooking, taste the colourful cocktail creations at the Coke Bar and learn all about practical lessons at the tourism schools. Delicacies such as handmade chocolates and fresh apricot doughnuts were also conjured up by the students.

During table talks in the ballroom, visitors had the opportunity to ask pupils, students, teachers and boarding school staff questions about the school, life on the campus or the lessons.

“At our open days, we want to get visitors excited about the diversity of our programmes and show them the countless opportunities that are open to graduates after graduation,” emphasised head of school Peter Kospach.

Introducing the upper secondary school of the private grammar school

From autumn 2024, the Bad Gleichenberg private school campus will for the first time offer an upper level of the Private Business School. The focus of the upper level of the private grammar school will be on project work as well as economic and digital topics.

For this reason, the upper school programme was presented in detail in a presentation before prospective students were given a tour of the building. The visitors were guided by secondary school students and the teaching team of the school – from the music class, where they could listen to samples of this year’s musical project, to the science laboratory, where exciting experiments were carried out, to the art room, where the young guests could get creative.

For all those who missed the open days or need more help deciding, the experience day of the tourism schools and the upper level of the private grammar school will take place on 12 January. Furthermore, there will be an information afternoon on Thursday 25 January.
