Creative Learning Associates

The primary goal of the Literature Centre is to enhance the accessibility of literature for students ranging from Pre-Primary to Year 12, fostering an inspiring and supportive setting. While numerous schools visit our Centre, we also organize residencies in schools and libraries across WA, these residencies are led by our Creative Learning Associates.
