Talented pair have plenty to sing about

The Variety Scholarship Program encourages endeavours such as ballet, singing, dancing, drama, language, basketball and athletics.

The presentation was held at Heath Ledger Theatre.

Variety chief executive Michael Pailthorpe said the scholarships had the ability to change the lives of local youth and shape their success.

“We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to children and young people who might not otherwise have the means to develop their talents and follow their dreams,” he said.
