Successful schools - Round 1 (2020)

Thirty-four projects were funded in Round 1 of the Creatives in Schools programme, out of which 33 projects have finished. Due to COVID-19 lockdown, schools and kura had the option to extend their projects until the end of Term 2, 2021.

Evaluation of Round 1 projects is now complete. The evaluation found that Creatives in Schools makes a worthwhile and valuable contribution to sharing knowledge and offering creative practices in schools. It has made an early difference to the students and ākonga, teachers and kaiako, creative practitioners, parents and whānau involved. You can find detailed Evaluation reports here.

Some outcomes (as reported):

  • Strengthens student mental well-being through building key learning competencies and helping students build confidence and connect better with others.
  • Increases creative experiences in schools.
  • Helps build relationships between creative practitioners and schools.
  • Encourages teachers to design and plan lessons that include creative approaches.
  • Supports creative practitioners to develop career portfolios.
  • Gives parents and whānau another way to connect with schools.
  • Bringing Māori or Pacific culture into the programme made some Māori and Pacific students feel affirmed in their own cultural identity.
  • Some students found the creative arts were their passion, and want to pursue study in these areas further. Other students saw the potential of a career in the arts after participating. Some parents who took part in the interviews indicated that they would support a creative pathway.
