Goals for Arts Education in Western Australia One: Recognition of the importance of the arts in developing the unique intellectual and personal capacities of all children and young people in preparation for life and work, in an increasingly and challenging and rapidly changing world; and, Two: That all children and young people will have engagement with and be enriched by unique and transforming arts and cultural experiences throughout their schooling. Supported by: DoE STRATEGIES, PLANS, AND FOCUS
• Classroom First Strategy : o Successful Students; o Effective Teachers; and o Good Schools • Strategic Plan for WA Public Schools 2012-15: Collaboration between schools will continue to be encouraged so they can share resources and expertise to benefit students. Partnerships will be strengthened between teachers and parents, and between schools and their communities as well as industry and tertiary providers .
• Aboriginal Education Plan 2011-14 “Public schools, in partnership with communities and other agencies, have the capacity to achieve greater success in addressing the educational disadvantage experienced by many Aboriginal students .” • Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2012-17 Ensure that students with disability continue to access and participate in all aspects of school life. Continue to build capacity for teachers, principals, school staff to support the educational needs of students with disability. Focus 2013;
• Attendance Strategy. Better attendance: Brighter Futures. “[The Department] promotes the mutual responsibility of schools, parents and communities to address poor student Attendance. A whole community approach approach…is more likely to improve the attendance of individual students while achieving broader benefits for the community.” And finally …
• FOCUS 2013 “Explore the innovative use of technology as part of learning and teaching programs; and use increased decision making authority to develop innovative strategies and programs that respond to the needs of students and communities.”
At a National Level: Australian Curriculum • Seven General Capabilities ; Literacy, Numeracy, ICT Capability, Critical and creative thinking, Personal and social capability, Ethical understanding and Intercultural understanding
Three Cross-Curriculum Priorities: • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures; • Asia and Australia’s engagement with Asia; and; • Sustainability
The Arts: Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts. Rationale “The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging students to reach their creative and expressive potential…the arts play a major role in the development and expression of contemporary cultures and communities, locally, nationally and globally.”
The AiR Grants Program • The Department of Culture and the Arts and the Department of Education through ArtsEdge; and • Australia Council for the Arts.
“I think the AIR Project is invaluable in terms of long range culture building in this country and a refreshingly creative approach to Education.” Artist
Professional Learning Opportunities “ I found the professional learning really great! I learned new skills that are not in the art books.” Teacher “ The greatest lesson for me was that from this grant I felt like a teacher and was given the opportunity to plan lessons and think about students’ learning outcomes in order to run the program. As an artist I have never had this opportunity before.” Artist
“ Working together creatively really built our capacity as a school.” Principal “ The artistic outcomes of this project exceeded my expectations. I never dreamed the students would achieve the level of autonomy…that they did.” Artist

We are not sensory theatre experts (yet), we are fledglings finding our way in new territory, cerebral beings learning (on a very steep curve) about experiencing the world in a physical way. Nor are we disability experts; relative to the teachers and EA’s, our hands on experience is limited, and our education in this field is just beginning. So this process is about gaining the experience and understanding necessary to make informed choices as theatre makers and performers, for how to most effectively engage our audience, whatever their physical and intellectual capacity.” Rebecca Bradley- Artist’s Blog July 3, 2011
