Enrichment Opportunities - Inviting our Community

Dear DB Community,

We are reaching out to you, our highly talented and skilled community, to help learning come alive for our students. We would like to invite you to be guest speakers, presenting talks (either online or face-to-face) on areas of your life and expertise that will motivate and inspire our students.

It is so important for students to contextualise the taught curriculum. By sharing your experiences you can help our students understand careers and career paths. You can discuss with them the strength and necessity of overcoming setbacks. Through your talks, students will gain a greater knowledge base on different topic areas as well as learn the importance of hard work and grit.

Guest speaker talks really do spark interest, aspiration and motivation for life beyond school. We tell our students that ‘anything is possible with hard work and determination’. To have inspirational speakers enforce and demonstrate that is very special.

Please complete this Jotform to inform us of your willingness to become a guest speaker at DBIS.

Many thanks,
Helen Kavanagh and Emma Cerrone
