A total of 250 pupils visit our OGS. The new concept now enables the children to move independently and on their own initiative in the OGS after class and after eating.
Mondays to Thursdays the open all day is open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For working parents, care is offered until 4 p.m.
It is also very important to the OGS to work conceptually with the offers of the school. The aspect of the GGS Sonnenstrasse as a school with a lot of sports facilities is taken up and continued in the afternoon (see also working groups and educational offers). As part of joint learning, all children within the OGS also spend the afternoon in mixed groups.
The OGS offers a holiday program for six weeks in each school year. Registration for the holiday program takes place separately, usually six to eight weeks before the start of the holiday. It is then open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The holiday care program as well as the respective activities have a specific motto, which is based on the wishes and needs of the children. The OGS is closed for a maximum of 30 days during the school year. You will receive a detailed overview at the beginning of the year or school year.
Daily routine in the OGS
From 11.15 a.m. all OGS group leaders are reliably in the OGS. Between 11.30 a.m. and 11.45 a.m. there is a break in the yard supervised by the teachers and specialists of the school and the OGS.
Lunch in the OGS
The OGS offers the children a daily lunch as an integral part of the respective group schedule. The majority of all groups eat at different times in the communal kitchen. Another group room with an attached kitchen is also used as a cafeteria. We try to create a nice atmosphere suitable for the group and pay attention to table manners and independence when clearing away. Our food supplier is the AWODUS company. We aim to offer balanced meals and guarantee that we do not offer any pork in the meal.
Function rooms - new concept
The all-day operation of our OGS requires a new room concept that meets the needs of the children and that allows the main idea of the pedagogical team to be put into practice. In addition, with this concept we meet the legal requirements to be able to offer every child a childcare place.
The OGS will have six function rooms from the 2020/2021 school year. These rooms are supervised from 12.30 p.m. Furthermore, the school yard and the public space within walking distance (Lessingplatz) are also used. The different materials in the rooms and grounds offer the children opportunities for social encounters and the experience of group dynamic, social processes. Furthermore, the discovery, development and deepening of the various areas of competence is encouraged. During the free play time, the children can choose which of the supervised rooms they want to stay in or which open offer they want to take part in.
Open concept
1. The structures enable the children to organize the afternoon as independently as possible.
2. The children decide for themselves and every day what they want to do after lunch and which offer they want to take advantage of. Overviews, clear regulations, advice and, if necessary, help support you in this.
3. The children decide with whom they want to spend the time after class, regardless of class and year.
4. The offer is designed according to the interests and needs of the children; children have an important voice in putting together the range of offers.
5. Different "functional rooms" - whose functions correspond to the fields of action of the educational agreement - are available to the children on a daily basis.
From Monday to Thursday, between 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., children can choose from a wide range of educational opportunities - new every day. The only exceptions are those offers that aim at a performance or participation in a competition or represent a project over a period of time announced in advance. They need to be visited regularly, which is easy for the children to understand.
In order to be able to decide, the children receive a daily updated overview, can "sniff" the offer or are advised by educators. And of course the children also make recommendations to each other. Once the children have made up their minds, mark their choice on the “whiteboard” so that an overview is provided of where each individual child is. Then they go independently to the appropriate room where they are expected by a pedagogical specialist or one of our training providers.

School social work supports children and young people in the school environment in all social and family problems or conflicts. Another task is preventive offers.

School social work is integrated into the school, but not part of it, ie it is an independent youth welfare institution. She is not the extended arm of the youth welfare office, but its cooperation partner.
School social work also cooperates with surrounding facilities, counseling centers and therapists and within the school with teachers and the school management.
The school social work offers are free of charge and absolutely confidential.

We offer advice and one-on-one discussions, for example if there are difficulties at home, at school or with friends.
When children feel like outsiders in class or are bullied.
When conflicts between themselves cannot be resolved by themselves.
We work with mediation as a conflict resolution method and offense settlement as a redress procedure.
To promote social skills, we offer social training in the classes.
In addition, we make offers for individual children or for small groups.
During the breaks, we are the contact persons for the children in the schoolyard and we look after the play container.
We take care of the implementation of children's rights at our school and lead the student parliament, which takes place once a month.

Our concept
Since the beginning of the 2020/21 school year, we have been working according to a new concept, the so-called open concept.
The all-day operation of our OGS required a new room concept that meets the needs of the children and that allows the central idea of the educational team to be put into practice.
In addition, with this concept we will be able to offer every child a childcare place in accordance with the legal regulations.
What does open concept mean?
Since the 2020/21 school year, the OGS no longer has group rooms, but instead has various function rooms. These rooms are pedagogically supervised from 12:30 p.m. Furthermore, the schoolyard, the gymnasium, the psychomotor room and the public space (Lessingplatz), which is within walking distance, are shared.
The children can choose which of the supervised rooms they want to stay in or which open offer they would like to take part in. They decide for themselves who they want to spend the time with after class, across classes and years.
The structures of the open concept enable the children to spend the afternoon as independently as possible.
The different focal points of the rooms and areas, materials and possibilities in the same offer the children opportunities for social encounters and the experience of group-dynamic, social processes.
The discovery, development and deepening of the various areas of competence is also encouraged.
The offer is designed according to the interests and needs of the children, the children have an important voice in putting together the range of offers.
In order to be able to make a decision, the children receive an overview that is updated daily, can “sniff around” in offers or are advised by educators.
And of course the children also make recommendations to each other.
Whiteboards and vintage colors
Once the children have decided where they want to go, they mark their choice on the whiteboards in the corridor next to the canteen so that they always have an overview of where each individual child is.
The children will also find the meal times, the weekly menu, motor skills room times, educational offers and another general information board for orientation.
Each new first grader is assigned a color at the beginning of the school year, which is retained throughout primary school.
This is for orientation, both in the open concept and for you as parents.
Responsibilities and vintage teams
Each child has a permanent reference person from the team of educators who, if possible, will accompany your child throughout his or her primary school years.
There are year teams that work closely with the class teachers. There is a weekly exchange in order to be able to accompany your child through school in the best possible way.

Quality analysis
Our school in the test
The quality analysis NRW (QA) was in-house and the results exceeded our expectations.
GGS Sonnenstrasse has carried out an in-depth analysis and the detailed report was presented to the school management and staff at the end of the 2018/2019 school year. In the following we want to present you - dear parents, students and interested parties - the results of the week-long exam.
Numerous interviews with students, parents, teachers and OGS staff were conducted. The examiners attended the lessons in all subjects and levels, visited the school building, viewed all documents and records and put our school through its paces. The results make us proud!
Our school has developed incredibly quickly over the past 6 years and has developed into a place of security and a welcoming culture. This makes us all proud!
Over 90% migration share, over 70% of parents with social assistance and other challenges. Unfortunately there are still parents in Oberbilk who would rather go a long way to other schools than register their children with us.
But this report shows that we are doing an excellent job.
Explanation: What actually is the QA?
After the so-called PISA shock - the poor results across Germany in a Europe-wide comparison of schoolchildren of all age groups - the NRW quality analysis was introduced in 2006. In our case, the Düsseldorf district government is in charge.
The aim of this assessment is to anchor consistent standards in all types of schools and to guarantee the safeguarding and development of the quality of schools. The basis for this evaluation is the so-called QA table that summarizes mandatory and voluntary criteria. Planning bases should be provided and sustainable impulses for further development should be given. The visible examination by the QA team takes about a week, preparation and viewing of all documents take several months.
