Outstanding! Here! Here!

“Raise your word, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” Rumi

Whilst many of us were sheltering indoors due to the very severe weather conditions on the weekend, three students from Archbishop Beck Catholic College were taking part in the English Speaking Unions (ESU) regional final in Cheshire.

Matthew, Katy and Amy had the honour of not only representing Archbishop Beck Catholic College but also the Liverpool Merseyside Branch of the ESU. Katy spoke on the Topic

“Myth is more memorable than Fact”, so what chance does Truth have?

This was public speaking at its best with 6 schools vying for the honour of going to the National Grand Final in April.

Outstanding presentations, speeches and a very supportive atmosphere provided our students with a truly amazing experience. Although not the overall winners, the College was awarded the BEST QUESTIONER of the contest. This was awarded to Amy for her in-depth, probing and skilful questions. Congratulations to the winners Manchester High School for Girls, it was a hard fought contest.
