Students win scholarships
Two Umina students have received scholarships following performances at the Central Coast Youth in Performing Arts concerts earlier this year.
Jessica Hin and Tynan Wood were two of six performers to win a scholarship thanks to sponsorships from local businesses and groups such as Woy Woy Little Theatre.
The week of performances at Laycock St Theatre saw more than 170 performers battle it out for one of six scholarships on offer.
Other scholarship recipients included Andrew Hay, Jesse O'Neill-Hutchin, Amelia Besseny and Damian Parker.
Gosford Council's director of community services and organisation development Mr Terry Thirlwell said: "The Youth In Performing Arts program has been able to provide an opportunity for the best young performers on the Central Coast to showcase their talent in a professional venue."
