"Ink, clay, drawing - it brings out a whole side of school you don't get to experience. I think this is awesome, it should be welcomed everywhere, anyone can do it, it's so freeing." ~ Ben, student from Bunbury Community College | @formwa @lamis_sabra @IndSchoolsWA

➢ Creativity brings skills young people need to shape their future: the ability to question, to be curious, make connections, innovate, problem solve, communicate, collaborate and to reflect critically. ~ @formwa CEO Tabitha McMullan | @IndSchoolsWA @lamis_sabra
