Is the spray paint safe for primary school kids?

The safety of your tamariki is our top priority. We use low-odour, water-based spray paints specifically designed for younger users whenever possible, and we provide all necessary protective gear including masks and gloves. Our professional artists are experienced in managing groups of children and provide constant supervision to ensure the cans are used correctly and safely throughout the entire session.

Do the students need any prior art experience?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics—how to hold the can and create simple lines—before moving on to more complex shapes. Our artists guide each student step-by-step, ensuring even the most hesitant child feels like a creative pro by the end of the day. It is all about building confidence through creativity.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Our primary school workshops usually run for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the 'sweet spot' for maintaining high energy and focus without the kids getting too tired. We can adjust the timing to fit into your school’s block schedule or morning/afternoon sessions, ensuring a smooth flow that doesn't disrupt the rest of the school day.

Where in the school does the workshop take place?

We bring the art studio to you! We can set up on the school fields, in a covered outdoor area, or even in a well-ventilated school hall using protective floor coverings. We provide all the boards, plastic sheeting, and materials, so your school grounds stay exactly as they were—just with a lot more creative energy in the air during the session!

What should the students wear on the day?

We recommend comfortable, old clothes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic character' on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can occasionally be a bit messy when the creative juices are flowing! Most schools find it easiest to have the kids wear their PE gear or a dedicated 'mufti' outfit for the day of the workshop.

Can we link the workshop to our current classroom curriculum?

Absolutely! Many Hamilton schools use our workshops to tie into specific curriculum themes like 'Identity,' 'Community,' or 'Visual Arts.' We can focus the final mural or individual pieces on specific keywords or symbols that reflect what your students are currently learning in the classroom, making it a truly integrated educational experience.

What is the minimum and maximum group size?

We don't have a strict minimum, but our workshops are most cost-effective for groups of 15 or more. We can easily handle entire year groups by rotating classes through different stations. Because we have a team of professional artists and backup staff ready to go, we can scale the experience to suit everything from a single small class to the whole school!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your primary school students? It’s more than just spray painting—it’s a unique educational tool that builds skills you won't find in a textbook. Here is why Hamilton schools love working with Graffitifun:

Confidence Booster: Kids see immediate results, turning "I can't draw" into "Look what I made!" 🚀
Teamwork in Action: Collaborative murals teach students how to share space and combine ideas harmoniously.
Fine Motor Skills: Learning can control is a fantastic (and fun) way to develop hand-eye coordination.
Cultural Connection: We explore the history of street art as a form of communication and community identity.
Stress-Free for Teachers: We bring everything, manage the mess, and clean up afterwards. You just sit back and enjoy! 🎉
No Upfront Payment: We trust our schools—pay only after the workshop has been successfully delivered.

Step by step

Initial kōrero: Contact us to discuss your school’s goals, student numbers, and preferred dates in Kirikiriroa.
Design the theme: Choose a theme that matches your curriculum, from local Hamilton history to school values.
Setup on-site: Our crew arrives early at your school to set up boards, drop cloths, and all the paint.
Safety briefing: We walk the kids through the 'rules of the can' and how to use their protective gear properly.
Basic techniques: Students learn the fundamentals—dots, lines, and fades—on their own practice space.
Creative execution: Under the guidance of our pros, students begin bringing their big ideas to life on the canvas.
The finishing touches: Our artists help the kids add outlines and highlights to make their work really 'pop.'
Gallery walk: We finish with a celebration where students can share the meaning behind their colourful creations.

Local culture

Hamilton (or Kirikiriroa) has a rapidly growing street art scene, with incredible murals transforming the CBD and suburban pockets alike. From the massive silos to hidden lane-way gems, our city is becoming a canvas for world-class talent. We bring that same 'Boon Hamilton' energy to your primary school, showing students that art isn't just something you see in a quiet gallery—it’s living, breathing, and part of their own community. 🎨

Fun Fact: Did you know Hamilton hosts one of New Zealand's most vibrant street art festivals? It's turned the city into a giant outdoor museum, and many of the artists we work with have contributed to these iconic local landmarks! 🔥

Pricing

Our pricing is transparent and designed to work with school budgets across the Waikato. We offer various packages depending on whether you want individual canvases for every student or a large-scale collaborative mural for the school hall.

Estimated range: NZ$45 - NZ$95 per student (including all GST and materials).

Because every school has different needs—from decile-based funding considerations to varying class sizes—we don't do 'one size fits all.' 🏆
