YWC 2018 Awards Ceremony

The YWC award ceremony and banquet is always full of energy and excitement. This year we introduced two new additions to the celebration: we asked the students to read a short section from their work, and we compiled all the winning entries into an anthology, which was given to the students as part of their prize. We also provided a copy to all the teachers present. Both additions were very popular!
