She details the process and her excitement about this incredible opportunity below.

I was given the opportunity to present some of my artwork at the Murry Arts Museum Albury (MAMA) apart of a yearly event called RAW which involves around ten 16-21 year old’s to install their work into the space. The experience involved three ‘workshops’ where I and the other artist got to get to know each other and the processes the museum goes through, such as behind the scenes, curating, and installing.

My teacher, Catherine McDougall, had put a poster up in the classroom 2 years ago about RAW24, I gained interest in it but chose to apply for RAW25, thanks to her I would of never have of gotten the chance to be a part of this amazing opportunity and to widen my artist experience.

]]> VCE Season of Excellence Top Class – Corey Day /?p=37737 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 05:32:20 +0000 /?p=37737 2024 Alumni, Corey Day was selected for the 2025 VCE Season of Excellence Top Class, with the concert taking place yesterday, March 20th, at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Corey studied Music Inquiry last year, and his original composition ‘Flood’, that he created for his Externally Assessed Task in Unit 4, received high marks and praise from examiners. His composition was written for an orchestra and was inspired by the music written for the Dr Who TV series. This is a huge accomplishment and Corey’s VCE Music Teacher, Lisa Bektash was privileged to be in attendance at yesterday’s concert.

On top of that, Corey was also presented with the 2025 Margaret Schofield Memorial Scholarship (Composition), an annual scholarship for government school students who study a VCE Music subject and demonstrate a commitment to music composition and a future career in this field. It is the only scholarship of its kind in Victoria and the $8000 will go towards Corey’s aspiration to study Composition at University.

Furthermore, Corey was also recently selected to compose original music for PROJECT Z: a youth-led screen dance project that creates a forum for discussing issues that affect young people and how they relate to the world, empowering them to voice their ideas and perspectives. Corey was commissioned to create a soundtrack for a film that was edited by Erin O’Rourke (Telstra/Australian Ballet Emerging Choreographer of the Year, 2022) and was mentored by Speak Percussion. The film was premiered at Dancehouse in November 2024.

And just yesterday afternoon, Corey received word that he has been selected to participate in the Screenworks APRA/AMCOS Screen Composing Mentorship – where he will be mentored by Brett Aplin (AFI/AACTA and APRA award winning screen composer)!

91Ƭ is very proud of Corey and we look forward to seeing where this music composition journey takes him next.
