New school year, new team: inauguration in Bernhardswald!

New school year, new team: inauguration in Bernhardswald!

On September 26, 2025, the new school year began at the Bernhardswald elementary school with the official inauguration of a new management team. In a celebratory ceremony, Ms. Karin Holzmann took over the position of headmaster, while Ms. Martina Waitl was appointed as her deputy. The event, which was led by school councilor Klaus Rötzer, took place in the school's festive atmosphere and underlined the decisive change in school management.

To welcome the new school principals, the second mayor of the community, Mr. Markus Auburger, presented flowers and small gifts. This gesture was seen by those present as a sign of welcome and shows the community's support for the educational institutions. Among the guests were the kindergarten management of the three kindergartens in Bernhardswald, Lambertsneukirchen and Kürn, as well as the management of the after-school care center and lunchtime care, and Ms. Fuchshuber, the chairwoman of the parents' council.

Background of the new management

Ms. Holzmann brings 14 years of experience from the Wörth-Wiesent elementary school, where she has worked as deputy principal for the last six years. Ms. Waitl was most recently employed at the Schierling-Eggmühl elementary school. Their common goal is to continue school development and implement new impulses. Both headmistresses attach particular importance to the exchange with everyone involved in order to further increase the quality of education at the Bernhardswald primary school.

These changes take place in a context in which the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture continually promotes innovative approaches for schools. One example of this is the provision of a reading function on the ministry's web platform, which makes access to school content easier. These and similar measures are part of a comprehensive school development program that aims to improve training and educational opportunities for students in Bavaria. Further information can be found in the School Development Program published on the Becoming a Teacher website.

The new principals and the entire school community are looking forward to the coming school year and hope to realize many positive developments at the Bernhardswald elementary school.
