YOH Fest Awards
It's a pleasure to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our students at this year's YOH Fest, which is the Act-Belong-Commit Youth On Health Festival. This is such an exciting event, bringing together performing, visual, and media arts with the vital message of health and wellbeing.
YOH Fest offers West Australian students the opportunity to combine creativity with purpose, exploring and raising awareness of important issues through their artistic talents. This year's theme, Inclusivity, has inspired students to create thought-provoking and powerful works across a range of categories. Their projects have not only showcased their skill but have also opened our minds to the importance of inclusive practices in our communities. We would like to congratulate all of our students who took part this year. Your dedication, creativity, and commitment have made us incredibly proud.
