The Carrolup Art Collection
Central to the program is the Carrolup Art Collection, which was created by children at the Carrolup Native Settlement. This collection provides students with a unique opportunity to learn about the lived experiences of the Stolen Generations and the continuing impact this history has on First Nations peoples.
Curriculum-Based Workshops
Our curriculum-driven workshops allow for easy integration into classroom learning. By extending experiences beyond the workshop and into the classroom, the program creates long-lasting benefits for students. These workshops promote positive, inclusive and accessible learning environments, fostering critical thinking, encouraging curiosity, and helping students develop skills and understanding of the world around them.
Workshop Offerings
The Power of Observation (Primary & Secondary)
Through a combination of art, nature and the Noongar seasons, students explore how observation and memory are fundamental to storytelling and self-expression.
Motifs of Country (Secondary)
In this session, students have the opportunity to explore the Once Known exhibition at 139 St Georges Terrace, where they observe the use of colour, pattern and symbolism within the displayed works.
All interactive workshops and tours need to be booked well in advance. Please contact us to check availability or call us to discuss.
