The classes are held at Mount Street Neighbourhood house with the support of the Waverley Arts Society.
The Waverley Arts Society held their 43rd Annual exhibition at the Highway Gallery in Mount Waverly from 6-31 October. The exhibition was well attended. Simran received a membership from WAS for being selected as a winner. Her parents Dr. Ina Takkar and Dr. Harpreet Singh are proud of their daughter’s talent and delighted with her achievement.
