Youth group Iron & Clay brought their S.C.R.U.M. mental health and life-skills program to Kingaroy last Friday for a special one-off performance for local high school students.<\/p>\n

Year 11 and 12 students from all South Burnett high schools were invited to attend the event, held in the Kingaroy Performing Arts Centre at Kingaroy State High School.<\/p>\n

S.C.R.U.M. stands for “Students Connecting, Responding and Uniting with Music”.<\/p>\n

The high-energy event – which included a free lunch – focussed on mental health awareness, especially about building resilience and improving well-being.<\/p>\n

It was brought to the South Burnett by the South Burnett Regional Council with grant funding through the State Government’s “Tackling Regional Adversity through Connected Communities” (TRACC) program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iron & Clay began as a Christian RnB and dance-pop band in NSW in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

Since them, they have been bringing their music and dancing to schools and festivals throughout Australia, with a changing line-up of young performers.<\/p>\n

About 600 students from Kingaroy, Nanango and Murgon State High Schools, St Mary\u2019s Catholic College and St John’s Lutheran School attended the Kingaroy event.<\/p>\n
