The education arm of Western Edge SCRAYP brings an artistic edge to learning. SCRAYP stands for: Schools, Community, Research, Arts, Youth & Performance. SCRAYP has been a dynamic and innovative force in challenging educational contexts in Melbourne since 1996 under the leadership of Dave Kelman with his experienced team of professional and emerging artists. The western suburbs of Melbourne are home to a incredibly diverse population of young people, from many backgrounds both cultural and social. SCRAYP provides fully funded arts mentoring and training to young people through schools programs. There is a particular focus on the facilitation of high quality arts experiences to culturally diverse young people of the west and particular schools experiencing hardship.
