The HPGE Creative Program by The Curiosity Coach is a year-long, progressive art education initiative tailored for NSW primary and high school students identified as high-potential or gifted learners. Designed to align with the NSW HPGE strategy and support the Creative Arts syllabus, this program offers students enriching and advanced creative experiences that foster innovation, resilience, and authentic self-expression.

Program Structure:

• Eight full-day face-to-face workshops delivered by practicing contemporary artist Korynn Morrison — two workshops per school term.

• Each session is built around one or more of the 12 core modules:
  Removing Fear, Finding Self, Move, Design, Value, Colour, Texture, Risk, Soul, Refine, Resolve, Reflect.

Student and Teacher Benefits:

• Access to the HPGE School Portal, an ever-growing digital platform filled with creative resources, extension activities, and video content to deepen learning between sessions.

• Studio experience opportunities, including optional visits to a professional working artist’s studio — providing real-world insight into life as a practicing artist.

• Ongoing creative support throughout the 12-month program for both students and teachers.

Flexible Delivery:
Programs can be adapted to suit your school’s needs — with options to condense or extend the number of sessions across the year.

Cost:
$480 per full-day session (max. 15 students per session)

Note: While I aim to use materials that are readily available in most schools, a detailed materials list will be provided in advance to assist with preparation and planning.

Our Create & Explore Workshops are inclusive, high-energy art experiences designed to get students out of their comfort zones and into their joy.
