Students participated in a radio program, music production and Dj workshops, The participating students faced social, physical and learning disadvantages and some come from indigenous backgrounds. The program kept students highly engaged and motivated. All the students were determined to learn and succeed in the program.
We at Harbor View campus have enjoyed working with Urban Movement and Highly recommend the Urban Movement Entertainment program for any youth interested and passionate about music and would encourage others to do so,
To whom it may concern
Ashley Youth Detention Centre in Tasmania, has been working with Robert “Ragz” Taylor for over two years. DJ Ragz’s program brief was to support young people to explore the skills associated with DJ’ing. DJ Ragz has given much more than we hoped for.
He has run weekly DJ sessions that have been highly engaging for all our young people. His sessions have given them learning and performance confidence and new skills in the use of ICT.
Our young people have shown incredible creativity and drive in the pursuit of crafting music. The entire sessions have become a much needed regulation space and therapeutic practice.
The most outstanding aspect of the program is its community connections, where we’ve had young people perform at public events and look at careers in the DJ, radio and entertainment space.
We highly recommend Robert “Ragz” Taylor and his DJ program for any youth or therapeutic program. His ability to build and maintain relationships with young people has led to wonderful on-going outcomes for all of our young people.
If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Giving Greg his shot
Ten weeks on from leaving AYDC, 17-year-old Greg Lake’s connection with the Hoops 4 Life basketball and associated DJ program is a big part of his life. He has played DJ sets at three National Basketball League (NBL) first division games, and he’s busy creating themed playlists for use in the Hoops 4 Life schools’ program.
Greg says, ‘Hoops 4 Life… and having the opportunity to meet Coach Tony is what has made a big change in my life. I have picked up a couple of new hobbies – DJing run by DJragz and Basketball with Hoops 4 Life. With these programs I have learnt a lot of new skills and enjoyment with things I didn’t think I would.’
Hoops 4 Life founder and president, Tony Moore (aka Coach Tony) says, ‘Greg has met the North-West Thunder’s chairperson, the president, the coach and the team and they were all congratulating him and thanking him for DJing. I loved seeing how blown away he was by so much positive attention and feedback.’
It’s a far cry from the first time Tony and Greg met at AYDC. ‘He was totally against participating.
We talked after the session and found a way to connect, and Greg hasn’t looked back. The program is about prevention and behaviour change with basketball as a side benefit. Greg’s good at basketball, but it’s through the DJ program that he’s found his passion.’ Tony says.
Tony has run the Hoops 4 Life program at AYDC once or twice a week since September 2023.
He credits AYDC Programs Coordinator, Heidi Walker with enabling him to set the program up and build strong connections with young people while they’re at AYDC. Mel Vasek and the rest of the AYDC Case Management team and Ashley School staff are also key partners. They provide targeted strategies for working successfully with each young person.

Hours of leadership and mentoring
“Working within the UME community and culture is defiantly the best part of my day. Making a difference to the communty.”
Robert is a fantastic guy and does excellent work within the youth space. His DJ programs are a great way for disengaged youth to gain confidence and industry skills all whilst having fun in a safe supportive environment.
