Support creative learning Liverpool Boys High School

We visited an Architecture Unboxed workshop to hear from students at Liverpool Boys High School and see the incredible architectural models they created.

Inspired by the imagination and design principles of Jørn Utzon, students designed and built their own architectural models. One student said, “I didn’t think I could make something spectacular like this,” while another shared, “It makes me feel like I could be an architect and design buildings like the Opera House one day.”

The students attended through the Arts Assist program, which is funded entirely by our donor community. It provides students from under-resourced and remote schools with free tickets, transport and access to inspiring performances and creative learning experiences at the Sydney Opera House.

We also spoke with Liverpool Boys High School teacher Caitlin Newton Broad about the impact of the program:

“Sydney Opera House has played a central role in how our students experience the performing arts and access incredible Australian artists. In a school where many families live on or below the poverty line, opportunities like this are often only possible through subsidised programs.”

It helps our students and teachers think big, unlock creativity, and build a sense of possibility. Thanks to this program, our students can connect deeply with creativity and the power of art.
