Carclew In Schools

Carclew in Schools offers year-round menu of arts programs for primary schools, young people, and teachers with a focus on Aboriginal arts, histories and cultures, teacher professional learning, and cross-curriculum application. Our programs have a range of engagement durations from one-day to multi-term, responding to demand and capacity within schools. We engage professional artists - experts in ideation, making and reflection, who’s teaching makes a pathway for young people to envision what they can do and who they can be. We bring teachers together for professional learning experiences that make space for discovery and conversation, stimulate teaching practices, and build community. Our approach creates lifelong impact on individuals and South Australia’s collective creative potential.

Bookings for 2025 Carclew in School programs are now open.

Carclew recognises and respects that we are living and creating on unceded Aboriginal Lands. Carclew pays respects to Elders, past, present and emerging and is committed to working together to honour their living cultures. The traditional lands and language of the Kaurna people include the Adelaide Plains where you can find Carclew House ‘Tutu Karralikanungku – Looking out from above’. Carclew extends this respect to all Traditional Custodians and Elders we collaborate with across South Australia’s many diverse Aboriginal Nation Groups.
