Events

ESB has announced the winners of its 2017 Young Speakers of the Year Showcase. The successful students have been invited to attend the ceremony alongside their teachers and families to perform their winning poem, reading, or presentation. This year, ESB have two new categories. Our Spirit of ESB category recognises and encourages the potential of all learners, in line with the vision of our founder, Christabel Burniston, who believed that communication skills inspire confidence in every individual. Our new Burniston Bell category will be awarded to a teacher who has shown an exceptional level of expertise and great commitment to ESB.
