Our German Heritage

Bayer is proud of its German heritage and supports a number of initiatives to promote the German-Australasian relationship.

Bayer Supports Local German School

Bayer Australia has enjoyed a long standing relationship with the German International School Sydney. This bilingual school offers complete tuition to 350 pupils from pre-school to year 12 and has recently introduced the International Baccalaureate into its program. This important qualification can be used to gain entry to tertiary education worldwide, including in Australia and Germany.

Bayer supports the school fete by providing a marquee for their annual celebrations and by contributing to their annual year book.

Headmaster, Klaus Steinmetz, comments: "Through the school, Germans living in Sydney can be confident that the education their children receive will set them up for life should they return to Germany or if they remain in Australia."

German Culture in New Zealand

We are also supporters of Auckland University’s German Drama Company and in the past have contributed financially to the production of history books about German settlement in New Zealand.

German Business Networks

Bayer supports German business initiatives such as publications promoting German business in Australia and encourages the development of Australian-German networks for example inviting relevant organisations to themed round table discussions.
