Y.P.I. Finals

The finals were a fantastic display of all the hard work that has been going on with the whole S3 year group in the English department over the past 12 weeks. 

6 groups made it through to the final after fighting off tough competition in the semi-finals. All groups that presented last night were passionate and at times very moving. They were a credit to all involved and should be very proud! 

The finalists were as follows:

River Kids: Kayly, Kaitlyn, Emma, Joe and Olivia

Live for Life Foundation: Mara, Fiona, Eve, Melissa, Casey and Hannah

Circle West Lothian: Bethany, Johnny, Milli, John and Emma

Whitburn Community Development Trust: Adam and Kyle

Onwards Whitburn: Lucya, Emma, Millie, Melanie and Finn

River Kids: Ryan and Aaron

After a tough deliberation by the judging panel, they chose Circle West Lothian, presented by Bethany, Milli, Johnny, John and Emma as the winners. The prize was a cheque for £3000 for their charity.   Congratulations to them and all the other groups involved, they are all a credit to Whitburn Academy.
