This year, eight students from the Johannes Neuhäusler School (JNS) have successfully completed their schooling and are now starting their practical careers.

"The pupils see the graduation with mixed feelings: they are looking forward to their new phase of life - especially to work, although they will also miss the people they have come to love and tasks in the areas of school, a daycare center and housing.

Above all, the social encounters in these areas were very important to them,” explains Annette Mayrhofer, headmistress of the Johannes Neuhäusler School.

Magdalena, Daniel and Markus are happy to provide information about their plans: Magdalena will continue to visit the vocational training area of ​​the Straubinger Werkstätten St. Josef and find out there which area she would most like to work in.

Daniel has successfully completed an internship in a warehouse in Bergkirchen and hopes to be taken on there.

Markus is now taking a big step into self-employment - he moves into the new shared apartment in the former Hotel Huber in Dachau and starts working at an event service.

The other graduates will work in the WfbM Schönbrunn or WfbM Dachau, as well as in the Schönbrunn support center.

It was the last year in the old school.

After the holidays, the new school year begins in the new building with even better funding opportunities.

The Johannes Neuhäusler School is the private support center with a focus on intellectual development in the sponsorship of the Franziskuswerk Schönbrunn.

Around 150 students with a mental disability learn basic behavior and working methods, reading, writing and arithmetic at the Johannes Neuhäusler School in nine grades, supplemented by specialist lessons such as nutrition and social affairs or handicrafts and design.

This is followed by the three-year vocational school level, which prepares the young people for a self-determined life as adults and enables them to get their first professional orientation.
