Student creativity shines at 4Cs 20th anniversary showcase

We are proud to have the 4Cs 20th Anniversary Showcase featured by Berwick News / Star News Group, celebrating the incredible students, schools, cultural groups and communities who brought this milestone event to life.

For 20 years, Cultivating Creative Cultures with Communities Inc. has created opportunities for young people to express their identity, celebrate their culture and build confidence through creativity and performance.

The 2026 Showcase continued that legacy, bringing together young people from across Melbourne to share their stories, cultures and talents on the 4Cs stage.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to every student, teacher, family, community group, volunteer, supporter and partner who helped make our 20th Anniversary possible.

4Cs - Cultivating Creative Cultures with Communities

What is the 4Cs Showcase?

4Cs is a showcase that has taken place annually for the past 20 years, providing young people with opportunities to share their cultural heritage with pride while promoting inclusion, respect, and integrity. Through authentic learning experiences and strong community partnerships, 4Cs empowers students to develop leadership skills and strengthen their voices. 4Cs recognises and celebrates the unique contributions of students from diverse backgrounds. Together, these experiences foster belonging, connection, and community pride.

In 2026, VET students from Narre Warren South P–12 College and VCE-VM students from Lyndhurst Secondary College will collaborate through student-led projects as part of the 4Cs Showcase. Celebrating educational achievement, cultural diversity, and creative expression.

Schools

4Cs works with primary and secondary schools to provide students with opportunities to lead, create and share their cultural identities. Through performances, exhibitions and student-led event projects, young people build confidence, practical skills and stonger community connections.

Community

Community groups, families, artists and cultural leaders are central to 4Cs. Their involvement helps preserve cultural knowledge, connect generations and show young people that culture remains strong, active and valued beyond the classroom.

Meet Our Hosts

This year, we are excited to welcome Uelese and PJ as our Masters of Ceremony. Both first became involved with 4Cs as performers and have since returned to support a new generation of young people with their energy, humour and experience.

We are proud to have them help lead our 20th Anniversary celebration.
