Star Studded

more of the many young participants at VIBE

Vibe Alive played host to many international, national and local stars including one of the most famous Australian hurdlers of our generation, Kyle Vander Kype and local identity Katija Thomas who is now a successful lawyer. These and many more successful indigenous Australians were on hand at VIBE to be mentors and role models to the many young people who participated!

So you think you can dance?

The community of Port Augusta played host to students from all across South Australia, when Vibe Alive hit town on September 3 & 4, 2008. Joining the hundreds of students at the event was former Australian Idol Casey Donovan and star of So You Think You Can Dance? Sermsah bin Saad, aka Suri. The two were on hand to offer aspiring young singers and dancers advice and inspiration.

What’s it all about?

Vibe Alive is a two-day festival for young Australians of all backgrounds who like to dance, sing, paint and play sport.

As part of a team, students get the chance to compete in a variety of challenges. They’ll also find out about awesome career choices, meet some celebrities and learn a few important things about their health.

Vibe Alive is about celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and being a proud Aussie. It’s also the perfect chance to meet some new mates!

Mining their own business

These students were the first of the five groups to take the BHP Billiton tour of Olympic Dam this year with students from Gladstone, Peterborough, Jamestown, Mid North Christian College and Booleroo Area School participating.

The other person is the site guide, who engaged with us in an entertaining chat on the fine art of divining opals with a piece of fencing wire. A handy skill if you’ve got it!
