Deep Learning Model
At the heart of the program is the interaction between students, teachers and creative practitioners and the fine balance between the curriculum, creative practices, the development of the Five Habits of Learning, General Capabilities and the activation of creative learning spaces within schools.
The Five Habits of Learning
Creative Schools nurtures in young people imagination, inquisitiveness, discipline, persistence and collaboration, the ‘Five Habits of Learning’ all successful learners share. These five habits map directly to the General Capabilities in the WA curriculum

Warm Up Toolkit
Get Your ToolkitWe know we need to prepare our bodies before we exercise, but did you know we also need to prepare our minds before learning and getting creative?
At Creative Schools we begin with a short warm up before each session. Warm ups are intended to develop the social, emotional, physical and intellectual engagement of students in their experience of learning, as well as assist in relaxation and stress reduction. They are a fun and inviting way for a class to connect with one another and expel excess energy in preparation for the activities that follow in the session.
Last year we worked with Teachers and Creative Practitioners to design and develop a series of these warm ups, which we have compiled to create a Healthway Toolkit. We've made our Healthway Toolkit available for you to download as a free resource to use in the classroom!
Leading for Creativity
In 2020, Creative Schools partnered with global thought leader Professor Bill Lucas to deliver Professional Learning for school leaders participating in the program. Valuable discussions were had around inspiring learning in students and meaningful ways of embedding Critical and Creative Thinking across all subject areas of the curriculum on a whole school level.
This culminated in a publication that brings together learnings from attempts to embed creativity in schools across the world with insights from the experiences of schools in Western Australia.
