Perth Festival’s Education Program is for you and your students. We invite you to dive in and experience art in a different light. Space for all our programs is limited, so get in quick.
WORKSHOPS Students attending a performance can also participate in free workshops. These outcomes-based programs deepen student learning across curriculum and facilitate collaboration with artists and practitioners.
PROGRAMS, ACTIVITIES, MENTORSHIPS Diverse activities, programs and mentorships are offered free to Western Australian students. From Curated by Kids at Writers Week (p3) to Walking With, a series of walks that explore the natural world (p15), there is plenty to engage your students.
STUDENT ARTISTS Perth Festival celebrates students as creators and we want you to celebrate them too. From films to fanfares, the incredible work created by students will be showcased on screens in the State Theatre Centre during the Festival.
INDUSTRY PASS Secondary teachers of English and the Arts can apply for an Industry Pass to access discounts on tickets and other great offers throughout the Festival. Apply at perthfestival.com.au

WELCOME Young lives can be changed forever through art. We believe all Western Australian students should have access to remarkable arts experiences with the world’s greatest artists. We invite students to experiment, express themselves and get excited by an Education Program that mixes the playful with the profound and the purposeful. With the support of the Education Department, we have created a curriculum-linked and outcomes-based program of discounted performances, free workshops, masterclasses, mentorships and hands-on activities that have learning at their heart.
Perth Festival acknowledges that our events take place on the lands of the Noongar people and we wish to pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this Country.
We celebrate young people as engaged citizens and artists through opportunities that fire their imaginations. In 2018 we will be screening students’ short documentary films in the Lotterywest Films program, playing student-composed fanfares at Festival venues and running a Young Creatives program for students to explore a career in the arts.
As we celebrate the work of contemporary artists from around the world, we also acknowledge and respect the continuing culture of the Whadjuk people and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
We’ve incorporated excursions, incursions and online engagement so that more students and teachers can get involved. We hope that teachers and students will embrace this chance to step beyond the classroom into the great world offered by the arts.
