A wonderful evening for Dollar Academy’s final last night with 9 creative, mature presentations.
Crossroads Fife won the £3000 and all other teams walked away with £1000 thanks to a generous anonymous donation.
An amazingly creative final recently at Hillhead High school saw the team representing Flourish House walk away with the prize after showing a confident and seamless presentation.
