For Schools

Experiences and opportunities for teachers and students across Western Australia.

Each year, Perth Festival creates opportunities for teachers and students to access world-class performances, connect with artists and ideas, and foster a lifelong love of the arts. From school performances and creative workshops to resources that bring the Festival into the classroom, there are many ways to learn, explore and be inspired.

Our Partner Schools Program offers tailored, fully supported opportunities for WA secondary schools experiencing socio-educational disadvantage to engage with Perth Festival. Partnerships run for three years, from 2027 to 2029, and may include free performances and exhibitions, creative workshops, teacher professional learning and transport support.

Expressions of Interest for the 2027–29 Partner Schools Program close Friday 23 October 2026. Existing Partner Schools are welcome to reapply.

Our 2027 program launches on 29 October, with school booking information available from 30 October. To keep up to date with opportunities for schools, subscribe to our Schools e-news.
