Music
The sound of music
Besides the usual music tuition, the DSJ offers many extra-curricular musical activities that focus on practical music-making in groups.
In addition, there is also a samba group, where, despite minimal background knowledge, pupils create a Latin-American vibe (they distinguished themselves in a competition in 2007).
We would like to invite all pupils who approach such extra-curricular musical activities with open-mindedness and interest to join us. Together with the theatre and art groups, we shall stage great performances in the course of the school year.

Tennis

Volleyball
This type of sport is suitable for everybody (also beginners) and is mainly offered in the gym hall.
Theater
Theatre, theatre, nothing but theatre!
All our pupils who enjoy movement, games, expression and language, know that one need only arrive at the aula on Wednesday afternoons to be able to discover the fun of acting. At the start of each year there is bound to be a new play waiting to be produced. Naturally not everybody can get a main part, but we all know that a play's success depends on the contribution of each and everyone. Therefore the joy in working together is so important. A highlight each year is, of course, the theatre trip which includes rehearsals for the stage productions at the end of October.
