PARTNER SCHOOL OF GOETHE INSTITUT INDONESIA

Saint Peter’s School has been chosen by the Goethe Institute Indonesia as a partner school. As the ceremonial partnership we had a special event of the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding  (MoU) between the Goethe Institute Indonesia and Saint Peter’s School which was held in Saint Peter Auditorium, 7^th Floor Building B at 3 p.m. on the August 12, 2010. Before the signing of MoU, Mr. Steffen Correll, the Director of Goethe Institute Indonesia addressed the audience more or less about what is the meaning of partnership, why is Saint Peter’s  School selected as being a partner school, how the partnership has to be implemented, who will get the benefits, etc. It is good to hear that the reason of selecting Saint Peter’s School among many schools in Indonesia as a partner school of Goethe Institute Indonesia  is that Saint Peter’s School considered as one of the best schools. It is good to be informed that German language has been taught since year 7, this fact will probably make our students fluent in German language after year 12 studying at Saint Peter’s School.

The are several advantages of becoming partner of Goethe Institute, such as there will be selected students who are learning German language as a choice to be sent to Germany for three weeks, or the best German language students will be sent to join International gathering, or students will have a change to get scholarship to do higher studies in Germany, or German teachers will be sent to follow  teacher training program in Germany or in Indonesia itself, and many other advantages. The MoU was signed by Mr. Steffen Correll as the director of Goethe Institute Indonesia and by  Mr. Martin Hahn as the director of education of Saint Peter’s School, witnessed by Ms. Claudia Ruppert, the First Secretary and Head of Press and Cultural Affairs of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Jakarta.
