ESK News is an exciting afterschool challenge programme for students that brings together creativity, teamwork, and multilingual learning.

Each week, participants will plan, produce, and present a short 5-8 minute video news bulletin in English, French, and German, sharing updates and celebrations from across the school community. Through reporting, interviews, and event coverage, students will promote the school’s Golden Rules, strengthen cross-section connections, and develop valuable skills in communication and collaboration. The programme offers a fun and authentic way for students to express their voices while celebrating the school’s diverse, multilingual identity.

Considerations:

• To avoid pupils not following the required subjects and lessons laid down in the general rules for the European schools, the 3 extra lessons are scheduled on Wednesday afternoons. (Outside of the regular timetabled lessons)
• The target group are pupils in P3-P5, but in rare and exceptional cases, pupils from P2 can be recommended by class teachers. The focus of the groups may change and/or additional groups created depending on our findings. A record of pupils participating in the extra lessons on Wednesday will be kept by the support coordinators.
