Perth Festival Partner Schools Program 2027–2029

Bring your students closer to Perth Festival

Perth Festival's Partner Schools Program supports WA secondary schools experiencing socio-educational disadvantage to access and engage with the Festival.

Partner Schools receive a tailored program of free Festival experiences and support, which may include performances and exhibitions, creative workshops, teacher professional learning and transport.

Partnerships are normally for three years (2027–2029), with the program planned together each year according to student needs, the Festival program, available capacity and funding.

This short EOI should take around 5–7 minutes to complete. Existing Partner Schools are welcome to reapply. EOIs close at 11.59pm on Friday 23 October 2026.

Perth Festival will check current ICSEA information as part of the assessment process — you do not need to provide your school's ICSEA score.

The Perth Festival Partner Schools program is supported by the Fogarty Foundation.

I confirm that the information provided is accurate and understand that submitting an EOI does not guarantee selection. If selected, our school's participation will be subject to annual planning, available Festival opportunities, capacity and funding.
