Fostering creativity in schools is the focus of a new $8 million program funded by the State Government.

Delivering on a 2021 State Election commitment, the Creative Learning Program comprises two key initiatives — Creative Learning Partnerships and Creativity for Schools.

The focus of these grants will be on enriched learning by embedding creativity across the curriculum, and beyond.

The ambitious program will deliver large scale, targeted partnerships over two years that offer deep engagement for students and teachers.

Creative Learning Partnerships will offer grants of up to $500,000 for 2-year programs engaging students (years 2 to 9) and educators across Western Australia. Applications for the program open on Thursday 15 September 2022.

The Creativity for Schools program will support creative artists and organisations to engage with schools via collaborations (up to $60,000 in funding) and in-school residencies (up to $20,000 in funding).
