Loud and Proud Youth Festival
Project Summary
The Loud and Proud Youth Festival attracted over 500 students from 2 local government areas incorporating the following schools: Billabong High, The Rock, Lockhart, and Oaklands Central Schools at the Culcairn Football Ground on 1 May 2007.
Local entertainer and Albury Citizen of the Year, Steve Bowen hosted the day’s activities which included performances by local youth bands, dance and drama groups by young people from the schools.
The students were also entertained by the high energy dance group A.R.A.B (Anti-Racism Action Band), sponsored by Beyond Blue who also engaged students in workshops throughout the day.
Local health, education and employment services also held interactive stalls providing young people with activities to do during the day, whilst making students of what services are available to them.
The Culcairn Lions Club ran a BBQ lunch for students and SES showed their talents by dismantling a car.
