Learner Support

Creative Learner Pathways

Arts-integrated remedial sessions that rebuild confidence and mastery.

All programmes
About the programme

After-school and Saturday programmes that use visual art, storytelling, drama and movement to re-engage learners who have disengaged from the mainstream classroom — rebuilding foundational literacy and numeracy in the process.

Sessions are capped at 12 learners and run for two hours, twice a week. Facilitators are trained teachers paired with practising artists from the local community.

Every learner ends the programme with a portfolio that doubles as evidence for the SBST and a celebration of progress for the family.
