Kool Skools

Kool Skools is an exciting Recording and Multimedia Project for secondary aged students and offers young people from across the shire the opportunity to experience being a recording artist for a day.

Kool Skools promotes, develops and supports a diverse range of talent and all genres of contemporary music writing and performance. Each artist gets to work within a professional studio in Melbourne, with a professional engineer, and record their very own hit. Each project receives 450 CDs containing their own music, graphics, photos and videos.

Each year an Awards Nights is held in November to showcase and celebrate the best songs and performances. Approx. 40 acts from the project get to perform live. The awards night is modelled on the ‘ARIA Awards’ and feature well known industry personalities and some famous names as guests whom sometimes present the awards.

Since 2008, youth from the Moira district have put together a professionally developed album each year! Of these there have been a number of Awards and Award Nominations for these efforts, From Best Male Vocalist to Best Pop Rock Song.

For those who don’t play music or sing, Kool Skools also provides a great opportunity to be involved in making video, doing photography, designing the CD artwork and being part of the whole process. Kool Skools is a real gateway to the music world – not just a school project!

The Kool Skools Program is funded through FreeZA and is offered free of charge to participants.
