Who we are

Platanus & Friends is our non-profit parent-teacher association. We support the kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and the Ganztag program, encourage pedagogical projects and clubs, organise events and celebrations and dedicate ourselves to the beautification of the school and kindergarten buildings as well as the outside areas. The necessary financial means for our association’s work comes from targeted fundraising.

Projects and Events

We support many projects and events within the school and kindergarten – both one off and recurring events.

Magic Movie Night

The MMN is a firm date in the  school calendar for children, parents and the team. Platanus & Friends invites the kids to a movie, popcorn and hotdogs. After the movies for different ages groups we party together. next date: Nov. 18, 2023

Sponsored run

Our sponsored run takes place every year in the Schlosspark. The kids raise money by running their rounds. We use this money for projects that benefit the students at Platanus Schule. The water fountain in the cafeteria is one of the projects we were able to sponsor.

summer fest

The annual Platanus summer fest is always a successful occasion to celebrate the end of the school year. Parents bring foods from around the world, the school organizes fantastic fun and games and Platanus & Friends does the drinks for young and old.
