National Youth Week

There are many events to be held during national youth week they include:

During National Youth Week, Young People from each high school in Warwick will be portrayed in the Warwick Daily News. This is a fantastic way of showing off some of the talented and creative Young People we have in our shire. With every school participating, we here at the Warwick District Youth Service feel that we will have a wide variety of Young People on show.

1 st of April
The “Gotta Laugh” comedy festival–

This Bi-annual event was such a hit the first year it was run, that the Director Ms Carla Clayton has decided to run it again. With Skits, Stand-Up Comedy, Musical Comedy and the ever-funny Improvisation Comedy, I am sure it will be hilarious once again.

The event is going to be held at the Warwick Town Hall on Saturday the 1 st of April to coincide with April Fools Day and National Youth Week. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Warwick District Youth Service through this website or on phone 4661 – 7166.

Warwick VS Toowoomba Indigenous Touch Footy Match

This is the first of its kind and is shaping up to be a battle of epic proportions; the grudge between Toowoomba and Warwick in sporting fields has never been higher. When these two titan teams clash, there will be fireworks and the game will be played to a very high standard.

The day is also a chance for Indigenous community members to talk with the local police about some of the issues that are facing their community and their children.

There will be a BBQ and it will be a fun event for all!!!

6 th of April

The Warwick District Youth Service will be putting up a stall in the Rose City Shopping Centre. This stall gives the Youth Service an opportunity to meet with local people and local people the opportunity to come and get some information on local events and services that are Youth Specific in our region.

In the Bin Short Film Workshop

In The Bin was run last year and was a huge success, the skills and development the Young People gained was phenomenal.

In the Bin is a short film workshop for Young People aged 13-18, the workshop is of a very high quality and you will learn HEAPS!! Things you will learn are.... How to capture that perfect shot, learn how to pick the right angles, Sound and lighting, how to make sure everything is shot to a high quality and you will learn how to edit your films to make them look professional.

During the workshops you will be split into groups of 4 to make a short film, which you will have to film and edit yourself, with the new skills you have learnt. There will also be a screening of your films on the last night of the workshop, to show off your films to the community.

The cost of this workshop is ridiculously low at only $50.00 for a three-day workshop run over the 18th, 19th and 20th of April.
