The primary focus of year one centred on the development of relationships and trust between network schools, in order to successfully form a new professional learning community. We brought together schools from different parts of the region, meaning that schools were able to make connections, share BIG ideas and broad learning in a forum that would not normally be available to them. All schools entered into the Creativity Collaborative with a commitment to create change and with a shared vision – to explore approaches to embed teaching for creativity across the curriculum.
