Looking after and caring for children, giving them security and warmth and, if necessary, giving them consolation: 20 nannies and one nanny learned this during their two-year training at the Don Bosco vocational school for child care in Rottenbuch.
Rottenbuch
- "That is a great result," said the deputy headmistress Renate Schmid at the graduation ceremony in the Fohlenhofsaal.
All graduates can now call themselves “state-certified nannies”.
19 of them have also achieved the intermediate level of education.
More than half of the graduates will look after children in kindergartens and crèches in the future, three have decided on the five-year training as state-recognized educators at the technical school for social pedagogy in Rottenbuch.
Some others aspire to the profession of curative educator, housekeeper or occupational therapist.
Joy of going back to school
A graduate begins an apprenticeship as a goldsmith.
Laura Gretschmann, Natalie Kummeth and Selina Mensching also received a certificate of recognition from the government of Upper Bavaria due to their average grade of better than 1.5.
The Don Bosco graduates chose the motto of Regens Wagner's graduation ceremony: "Your sun is high in the sky, even if clouds cover it": Renate Schmid said that in her job as a teacher it is a very special pleasure for her To be able to accompany this school in the spirit of Don Bosco on their way to young people.
With a view to the pandemic, she also said, "You are the first class that was happy to be allowed to go to school".
They all experienced the age of masks and smiled at each other when the opportunity arose.
And they would have learned to look behind the masks.
Big hurdle jumped
Don Bosco general manager Achim Gerbig said that after a long time at this event in the house he was happy to “see real people”.
By the way, the former “Bräuhaus”, which was destroyed and rebuilt after a fire in 2018, will be ready for occupancy at the end of 2021.
At the beginning of 2022, the specialist academy and the vocational school will move back in there.
Rottenbuch's mayor Markus Bader, however, spoke about the “excessive bureaucratic times”, about paternalism and about new regulations every day.
Unexpected events can only be mastered if regulations are set aside and tackled unbureaucratically.
“You”, he said in the direction of the graduates, “have already jumped a big hurdle here”.
The speeches by the two class representatives Selina Mensching and Emely Weber were also part of the graduation ceremony.
They both took a look at the two successful years, which they all managed under difficult conditions.
Finally come the singers
Annerose Lechner, meanwhile, rhymed the two school years by saying, among other things: "We are sorry for you this year, unfortunately only a small graduation party".
And wish you all God's blessings, "we enjoyed it very much with you".
Regens-Wagner director Rainer Remmele put the preceding literal service under the heading “Who do I listen to”.
One should check whether it would not be interesting to “follow Jesus”.
The singers led by soloist Sarah Bauer were responsible for the final song.
Renate Schmid finally quoted Johann Evangelist Wagner: “Rely on God!
Go quietly serve the way!
If you wait until God paves the way, you will never arrive ”.
