LSA Students in RIBI Youth Speaks Competition

James Farrow & Molly O'Toole from Y8 and Charlotte Kelly from Y11 represented LSA at the Fylde's 'Youth Speaks' Rotary Club public speaking competition which took place at Lytham's Assembly Rooms last night. Well-prepared by Mrs Hilton, all three spoke clearly, confidently and eloquently about the topic 'I'm a Barbie Girl in a Barbie World' which extolled the virtues of going against the current trend for fake tans, bleached blonde hair and skinniness. Although the winners were sixth formers from Carr Hill, our pupils did us proud and were awarded certificates at the end of the night.
