Richard Carney Memorial Scholarship awarded

During the last week of Term 3 2022, Narromine Elder and Orana Arts Board member Aunty Ruth Carney, and Orana Arts Executive Director Alicia Leggett, presented Trangie Central School student Ashton Davis with the Uncle Dick (Richard) Carney Memorial Scholarship. Presented in memory of Aunty Ruth's husband, Uncle Dick, the scholarship includes a trip to Sydney to visit and work with the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) at their HQ at The Rebel Theatre in Sydney.

Fellow Trangie Central School student, Chase Quigley, was presented with a $50 gift card as encouragement for his participation in the workshops that he and Ashton did with ATYP tutor, Matilda Ridgway, during the end of Term 2 holidays in Trangie. Matilda worked with the students on performing and storytelling over 3 days giving them the tools needed to choose a story and communicate it theatrically.
