The next generation students will be able to join forces with artists through a new round of the Creative Learning Partnerships program.
Creative Industries Minister Colin Brooks encouraged schools across the state to apply for the next round of the program, which supports schools to work with artists, creative collectives and organisations through residency projects ─ encouraging schools to support students’ creativity and get creative with their curriculum too.
The program provides grants of $10,000 for schools to partner with an individual artist, or $35,000 to partner with a creative collective or organisation.
Creative Learning Partnerships has connected more than 1,650 creatives with more than 1,200 schools.
The program helps students develop their creativity, express themselves and learn new skills, supporting Foundation to Year 10, VCE Vocational Major and the VPC curriculum.
It also provides opportunities for both the teachers and the creative professionals involved to build their creative skills.
Projects from the previous round of the program are underway, and include diverse collaborations across theatre, performing arts, filmmaking and writing.
“We’re supporting Victorian students to develop their creative skills while enhancing their education outcomes and introducing creative careers to young people,” Mr Brooks said in announcing this year’s program.
Applications for the program are open now and close on Thursday 13 November 2025.
