Our Team, Our Opening Hours and How to Reach Us

Born in South Africa, Dr Danette Brink came to Germany to read her Doctoral thesis in Musicology at the University of Regensburg.

Moving from the academic teaching world to the private education sector, she joined SIS Regensburg and SIS Ingolstadt in 2016, teaching music at the secondary and primary level (SIS Ingolstadt). Since 2018 she has supported the management team in Regensburg as vice-principal, as well as teaching French, Ethics, and ESL.

Danette Brink believes that a good education is a right that every child has, where a child has the opportunity to grow not only academically, but on a personal level as well, through the power of learning new ideas. She supports the bilingual concept of the SIS Swiss International School as a tool that opens multiple doors in our cosmopolitan world.

She is pleased to be able to continue supporting the high level of education and commitment at SIS Regensburg in her role as principal.

Christine Scheid came to SIS Regensburg in 2013 and initially supported the team in the bilingual kindergarten. Since September 2014, she has been working at SIS Regensburg as an English, history, social studies and ethics teacher and, since June 2017, as IB coordinator and head of the secondary school.

Christine Scheid studied English and History at the University of Regensburg for teaching certification at the Gymnasium (secondary school) and successfully completed her studies with the second state examination after her traineeship in the summer of 2013. During this time, she also obtained a teaching qualification in ethics and successfully completed her state examination in social studies shortly thereafter.

After completing her studies, she lived in Ireland and worked in the Department of History at the National University of Ireland in Galway. She also completed an internship at St Nicholas Parochial School, which gave her an insight into the history and cultural diversity of the country. She gained valuable experience as an assistant to the chair, a lecturer and as a teacher, both in teaching and internationally.

Christine Scheid enjoys the open and intercultural atmosphere at SIS Regensburg and is happy to be able to support and teach so many different age groups. Good cooperation and mutual trust are very important to her.

Miranda Bruning has been working at SIS Regensburg since September 2016, where she teaches English, math, science, art and crafts and ethic. She took over the position of head of primary school in September 2020.

Before moving to Germany, she worked at a kindergarten where she was responsible for the preparation and implementation of preschool curricula.

Miranda Bruning is passionate about teaching younger children and is always excited to see them grow and learn in their own unique and wonderful way.
