Wagga Sessions

October 26, 2009

Heaps Decent will be increasing our Wagga Wagga presence, continuing to facilitate music production, song writing, DJing and recording workshops and master classes for young people both in Juvenile Justice and in the community.

The Wagga Sessions will reach young people at Riverina Juvenile Justice Centre, Riverina Community College, Tolland Community Centre and Ngurra Youth Hub, Ashmont.

Wagga Sessions will have a special focus on young people at risk of coming into contact or already in contact with the Juvenile Justice system and will not only offer young people the opportunity to learn how to make music and engage with the wider community, it also gives them the opportunity for public performance at events including Youth Week Festival, NAIDOC week and Harmony Day.

Developing on strong relationships Heaps Decent has built with the Wagga Wagga community, we are supported by partners Riverina Community College, Anglicare, Shepherds Park ETU (Riverina Juvenile Justice Centre), Eastern Riverina Arts, Wagga Wagga City Council and Wagga Wagga Multicultural Council.

Wagga Sessions has been undertaken as a project partly funded by the Youth Development and Support Program that is managed by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.
