The Story
of Esther
Who was she?
What did she do?
Her story is shared at the Queen Esther's Finishing School, and here is
a tid-bit of her World changing story!
Queen Esthers

is named in honour of a Historical Heroine.
Her name was Esther, an orphaned girl from the year 488 B.C.
After 12 months of Finishing School (charm & beauty training),
she became Queen to King Xerxes and ruled over the Persian Empire.
She is the main role model our students will study.
Despite the many obstacles Esther had against her, they will discover
how an ordinary girl can become a world changer !
They will develop excellence, integrity, faith & courage.
Through Esthers Finishing School they will receive help to
develop their skills, good character, and creative talents.

NEW... Esthers Students
may attend two - three times a week!
So our students may gain the practice needed to perfect skills in
conversation, modeling, visual poise, confidence and beauty arts!
Tuesdays 4:00 - 5:30, Thursdays 4:00 - 5:30 and Saturdays at 12:00 noon
for extra practical time and lesson practice.
For a definite life changing impact and
development of new skills, Esthers Finishing School is providing these
extra hours for just a membership fee of $150. plus GST for the full year
membership. As long as the student is enrolled in the ongoing sessions
(which are 5 weeks long - one class per week - session fee at
$125.) the extra two weekly classes are included in the session
registration tuition at no extra charge.
Same for students enrolled in the Spirit of
Excellence programs in Flag/Dance and Tambourine Classes. Enrolled
students may attend the rehearsal and gain more practice time in the large
dance/flag studio with the one membership fee of $150. So
student members may come for practice times Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday
lesson class, and any or all of the Esthers Classes while enrolled in
that session.
I believe with these extra included
practice times - we will see the students excel in their skills,
presentation, conversation and flag/dance. We will have an
excellence Flag/Dance Company this year and students with life changing
skills!
I look forward to a productive year -
getting fit - twirling flags and raising up role models of
excellence!
