Creativity for Schools

This program partners schools and creatives to embed creativity into students' learning and understanding across curriculum areas.

The Creativity for Schools Program offers funding to support creative learning projects and the development of creative learning practices in schools. The program invites schools to partner with Western Australian creatives to connect and learn about creative processes. 

Creative learning encourages the use of insight, imagination, intuition, connection, questioning, immersive practice, reflection, process driven practice, design, research, fieldwork and observation.  

The two program categories, Collaboration and Residency, support activities utilising arts-based practice to engage students in their learning beyond arts curriculum areas. These activities do not replace the learning in The Arts curriculum subject areas.  

Projects will support access, participation and overall engagement for students (K to 12) and develop educators’ capacity to use creative pedagogy through professional learning with creative practitioners. 

The funded project should be designed as a series of transformative creative learning experiences that is inclusive of multiple curriculum areas and demonstrates deep learning through creativity.  


Objectives

The Department of Local Government Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) recognises that the following five (5) program objectives are interdependent.

Primary objective

  • Enhance students’ and educators’ creative learning capabilities to increase engagement and support success across Western Australian curriculum areas and beyond.

Supporting objectives

  • Build the pedagogical and partnership capacities of arts organisations, creative practitioners, education leaders and teachers.

  • Enhance the health and wellbeing (for example mental, social, and/or physical) of students.

Applications must align with the primary objective and, where relevant, the supporting objectives.
