Do I need to bring my own spray cans or safety gear?

We provide all the professional-grade spray paint, safety gear, respirators, and boards needed for the session. You don't need to bring a thing except your enthusiasm and some clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on! We also provide take-home digital resources and lesson plan templates to help you integrate these new skills into your Australian curriculum requirements immediately back at school.

I've never done graffiti before; can I still join the training?

Absolutely! Most teachers who join us have never touched a spray can in their lives. Our professional artists are experts at teaching the fundamentals from scratch. We start with basic 'can control' and 'nozzle physics' before moving into more complex letterforms and shading. By the end of the day, you'll be amazed at the mural you've helped create, regardless of your starting skill level.

How long does the teacher training session usually last?

A typical professional development workshop in Canberra lasts between 2.5 and 4 hours. This timeframe allows for a solid theoretical foundation, hands-on technique practice, and the completion of a collaborative piece. We can also tailor the duration to fit into your school's specific PD schedule or strike-day arrangements if you are booking as a full faculty team.

What safety measures are in place during the workshop?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality, low-pressure spray paint and provide professional-grade respirators and gloves. We also provide a comprehensive safety induction that you can mirror for your students. We'll teach you about proper ventilation, skin protection, and the best ways to manage a classroom full of students with spray cans to ensure everyone stays safe and healthy.

How does this training align with the Australian Curriculum?

Graffiti and street art offer incredible links to the Australian Curriculum, specifically in Visual Arts, Design, and sogar Civics and Citizenship. It encourages students to explore identity, public space, and urban culture. During the training, we show you how to align these practical skills with specific achievement standards, making your lesson planning easier and your classroom engagement much higher for diverse learners.

Do we have to pay before the workshop takes place?

We understand that school budgets and schedules can be tricky. That's why we don't require any payment upfront. You can book your training session, get everything organised with your school's finance department, and then simply pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much smoother for busy educators and school administrators alike.

Are there discounts available for large school faculty groups?

We certainly do. If you have a group of teachers from the same department or school cluster, we can offer adjusted per-person rates. These sessions are fantastic team-building exercises for art faculties. Large group bookings often allow us to work on a much larger scale, giving you the experience of managing a 'big wall' project which is a valuable skill for any art educator.

Local culture

Canberra isn't just about politicians and roundabouts; it has a thriving, legal street art scene that is world-class! From the iconic walls in Braddon to the hidden gems in Woden and Belconnen, the ACT government has been a legend at supporting public art. Our training taps into this local culture, showing you how to navigate Canberra's legal painting spots with your students. We draw inspiration from the vibrant murals that line Lonsdale Street and the ever-changing graffiti galleries in the suburbs. ✨

Fun Fact: Did you know Canberra has several "Free Walls" where anyone can legally practice their graffiti? It’s one of the most street-art-friendly cities in Australia, making it the perfect 'lab' for your professional development!
