Program overview

This program provides an opportunity for students in Years 9 to 12 to work alongside artist Nicole Barakat who will lead students through a workshop supporting the development of new strategies for their creative practice. Using the metaphor of a garden, students are invited to engage in fun, open-ended, intuitive and experimental processes, in a supportive and safe setting.

Schools may select up to 8 students per school.

It is the responsibility of the school to organise student drop off to and pick up from the Liverpool Powerhouse.

The classes are led by arts facilitators with the support of Georges River EEC staff who will provide supervision for all students throughout the day. Participating schools are welcome to send a teacher to assist on the day but this is not a requirement, unless students need administration of medication or need specialised support.
