Is the graffiti workshop safe for secondary school students?

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits for every student. Our professional artists lead with a 'safety-first' briefing, ensuring everyone uses the spray cans correctly. We also use low-odour, high-quality paints designed for ease of use. You can rest easy knowing the kids are in a controlled, supervised, and totally safe environment while they unleash their inner Banksy.

Do students need prior art experience to participate?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from those who can barely draw a stick figure to aspiring young artists. Our instructors break down the process into simple, manageable steps—starting with basic 'tags' and moving up to complex 'pieces'. We focus on the process and the fun of creation, ensuring every student walks away with a finished product they are genuinely proud of.

Where on the Gold Coast do these workshops take place?

We are flexible! We can host the workshop right on your school grounds if you have a suitable outdoor area or a well-ventilated shed. Alternatively, we can help arrange a session at a local Gold Coast legal street art spot or an indoor studio. We bring all the gear to you, including boards or canvases, so there is no permanent mess left on your school walls.

How long does a typical workshop session last?

A standard secondary school workshop usually runs between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a solid introduction, a safety briefing, skills practice, and the final creation of a large-scale mural or individual canvases. We can easily adjust the timing to fit into your school’s double-period blocks or elective afternoon schedules to make it as seamless as possible for your timetable.

What is included in the cost of the workshop?

We handle everything! The price includes professional artist instructors, all premium spray paint, caps, protective gear (masks, suits, gloves), and the surfaces to paint on (like large wooden panels or individual canvases). We even handle the setup and the cleanup. You just need to provide the students and a bit of space, and we'll take care of the rest of the magic.

What are the educational benefits of a graffiti workshop?

Graffiti is a fantastic tool for student engagement. It encourages teamwork, boosts self-esteem through creative expression, and offers a unique physical outlet for energy. It's also a great way to discuss the difference between illegal vandalism and street art as a career path. Many Gold Coast schools use our workshops as a reward for positive behaviour or as a core component of their Visual Arts or PDHPE curriculum.

Do we have to pay for the workshop upfront?

We get it—school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That’s why we offer a no-upright-payment policy. You can book your date and confirm the details with us, and the payment is only settled after the workshop is successfully completed. This ensures you are 100% satisfied with the experience we provide to your students before any money changes hands. It’s our '100% fun guarantee' in action!

The experience

Why choose a graffiti workshop for your Gold Coast high schoolers? It’s simple: it’s the one day of school they’ll never forget. Here is why we are the go-to for creative educators:

Instant Engagement: Even the most "too-cool-for-school" students can't resist the chance to pick up a spray can. It’s high-energy and high-reward! 🔥
Blue Card Certified: Our artists aren't just talented; they are screened professionals who know how to manage a classroom environment safely and respectfully.
Zero Risk Booking: With our "no upfront payment" policy and backup artist pool, your school event is guaranteed to go ahead without a hitch. 🏆
From Vandalism to Vocational: We educate students on the ethics of street art, shifting the focus from "scribbling on walls" to "professional muralism."
Curriculum Aligned: Our sessions can be tailored to meet QCAA Visual Arts requirements, focusing on technique, modern art history, and social commentary. ✨

Step by step

Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick history of street art and a vital safety demo on how to use the gear properly.
Mastering the nozzle: Students learn 'can control'—practising how to make thin lines, fat drips, and smooth gradients.
Sketching the design: Before hitting the wall, students plan their concepts on paper to map out their creative vision.
Tagging basics: Every artist needs a signature! We teach the kids how to develop their own unique 'tag' or stylized name.
Outline and fill: Time to go big. Students start sketching their main design on the boards and filling them with vibrant colours.
Adding the 'pop': We teach professional techniques like highlights, 3D shadowing, and 'cut-backs' to make the art stand out.
Collaborative mural: In many school sessions, the kids work together on one massive piece that represents their year level or school values.
The finishing touches: Our artists help students refine the details to ensure every piece looks museum-ready (or at least street-ready!).
Cleanup and photos: We pack up all the gear and take epic group photos with the final masterpieces before the bell rings.

Good to know

Duration: Flexible sessions ranging from 90 minutes to a full school day (3+ hours recommended for murals). ⏳
Group size: We cater to small elective classes or entire year groups (up to 100+ students with multiple artists).
What's included: Premium spray cans, all caps, protective suits, gloves, professional masks, and painting surfaces. 🛡️
Safety: Full risk assessments provided; all artists hold valid Blue Cards for working with youth in Queensland.
Venue: We come to you! We set up portable walls on your oval, in the undercover area, or use your existing legal walls.

Local culture

The Gold Coast isn't just about world-class breaks and theme parks; it’s home to a thriving underground art scene. From the iconic murals in Miami Marketta to the hidden gems tucked away in the alleyways of Surfers Paradise, street art is woven into the GC lifestyle. Our workshops tap into this local energy, showing students that they don't have to head to Melbourne or Brisbane to find world-class inspiration.

Fun Fact: Did you know the Gold Coast hosts several street art festivals? Many of the massive murals you see on high-rises were created by international artists who started exactly where your students are—practising their first tags on a piece of plywood!

By bringing a graffiti workshop to your local school, you're connecting your students to a coastal culture that celebrates bold expression and sun-drenched creativity. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the Gold Coast’s unique "surf and street" identity. 🏄‍♂️

Pricing

Our school workshop pricing is designed to be accessible and transparent. Because every school's needs are different—whether it's a one-off session for 20 kids or a week-long residency—we provide tailored quotes to ensure you get the best value.

Estimated cost: A$40 - A$90 per student (GST inclusive).
Budget friendly: Larger groups benefit from significant per-head discounts!
No Stress: No upfront payment required—you only pay once the workshop is done and the kids are stoked.
