Aboriginal funding

Funding for programs and projects to celebrate Aboriginal culture and preserve history and traditions.

Creative Learning

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

The Creative Learning program offers funding to support creative learning projects and the development of creative learning practices in schools. The program invites Western Australian schools, creatives, and organisations to partner, 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 3 program categories, Partnerships, Collaborations and Residencies, 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.
