Invitation to judge the YPI Final on Wednesday 18th Nov.
Would someone from the parent council be free to come and help to judge the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) final in Broughton High School on Wednesday 18th November at 2pm it will probably last till 3/3.30 pm?
This is a programme that all S5 pupils are involved in during Citizenship time and they have the chance to win £3,000 to give to a charity within Edinburgh. They will be doing presentations on Wednesday 18th November to show the charities that they have visited. The Wood family trust donate £2,500 to the winning team and the school will raise an extra £500 to give to the winning team to make it up to £3,000 which is then given to the charity.
Here is a link to find out more about YPI in Scotland http://ypiscotland.org.uk/.
If you would like to be a YPI judge, please drop a note to Lydia Milazzo, RMPS and Psychology teacher at Broughton, at intouch@broughtonhighpc.org.

Calling All Pipers! Schools Championships Coming Up!
Are you a piper? Do you have three friends at Broughton who pipe too? Then make a quartet and represent your school at the Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships on March 13th!
The event is being held at Broughton, and as host school we really ought to field a competitive quartet of our own!
It’s a big event, too. Last year over a hundred schools from Scotland and England came, and competed in a host of categories. There’s even a new category, the freestyle section, where your pipes play alongside other mixed instruments! Watch freestyle expert and ex-BHS/EMS pupil Martyn Bennett wow ‘em in Glasgow:
Please give it some thought. Need funds to get started? There may be a bit of grant money to help. And when you’ve dusted off your brave pipes, get in touch with us at the Parent Council (intouch@broughtonhighpc.org)!
Yours, aye …
