He and his wife also run the school cafeteria. The aim of our headmaster is to send out into the world young people with enough experience for their life. They should be able to manage their own lives and they should be supplied with the abilities required at university. Our headmaster also tries to foster the cooperation with the parents. In Austria the council of the individual schools consists of three parents, three pupils, and three teachers who decide on many aspects of school life.
New ideas are also very important.
So we try to change old things, but changing things at school is a very tough and slow process. At the age of 10, after primary school, children can enter our school. Before applying for our school children and their parents are invited for a short visit. In summer children with an excellent primary school report are admitted to our school. There are no admission tests or fees whatsoever.
