We are pleased to present BREC’s Creative Learning Program for 2026 – a collection of exceptional performing arts experiences for both Primary and Secondary students.

You don’t have to be a teacher of the arts to engage with our program. It is designed to make it as easy as possible for schools to participate, so together we can ensure your students experience the arts in a vibrant and memorable way that will stay with them for a lifetime.

BREC’s strategic focus areas naturally align with SCSA’s cross-curriculum priorities, supporting schools to meet educational outcomes across key learning areas. Three of our 2026 performances directly assist schools in achieving these goals:

• The 7 Stages of Grieving and Cut the Sky explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, offering powerful ways for students to build understanding, empathy and respect.
• A Bee Story links strongly to Sustainability, encouraging curiosity and awareness of our connection to the natural world through creativity and collaboration.

While every show in the 2026 program connects with multiple curriculum areas, these three provide a simple, meaningful way for your school to meet SCSA priorities while giving students the joy of live performance.

Our Creative Learning Coordinator is here to support your excursion planning. Each performance comes with curriculum links, resource kits and classroom ideas to extend learning before and after the event. We understand that organising an excursion adds to an already heavy workload, and we will do everything we can to help you overcome barriers to participation.

We know the challenges are real – from the cost of transport and relief cover to the increasing demands of teaching – but the evidence is clear that the benefits of attending live performance are profound. Live arts experiences are not just a break from learning; they strengthen literacy, creativity, empathy and problem-solving skills, helping students see the world in new ways.

With fewer opportunities for young people to experience the arts in school, excursions to BREC can help fill that gap – building confidence, community and imagination. For many children, a school visit to BREC is their first-ever live performance, and without that introduction, many may never discover the power of the arts for themselves.

We welcome your questions, feedback and bookings at any time, and look forward to welcoming you and your students to BREC in 2026.

P.S. Sometimes shows book out and we can rarely add additional performances due to the complexity of national touring schedules, so I encourage you to submit the online booking form below with indicative numbers for your group as soon as possible.
