School Program
Bringing creativity and confidence into the classroom
Our School Art Programs are designed to spark imagination, build confidence, and make learning fun again, while helping students develop a sense of identity, social connection, and creative self-expression.
We partner with schools to deliver hands-on art sessions that help students express themselves, connect with others, and discover new ways to learn.
Because when kids are creating, they’re also growing.
What we offer
We Made partners with schools to design programs that fit your goals, curriculum, and classroom culture.
From one-off creative workshops to full-term programs, every session blends art, emotional wellbeing, and confidence-building.
Behind it all is Jess, founder of We Made and a former school wellbeing coordinator with eight years of experience in schools and 2 years in the allied health field helping kids, teens, and families navigate big emotions, confidence wobbles, and the rollercoaster that is growing up.
Her approach combines creative expression with gentle emotional support, helping students feel seen, understood, and proud of their individuality.

Why schools love it
Our programs help students build confidence, connection, and creativity within a calm and supportive environment.
Classes are small and strengths-based, encouraging participation, emotional regulation, and teamwork.
Schools see increased engagement, stronger relationships between peers and staff, and a genuine sense of belonging and school pride through the artworks created.
Each project complements wellbeing goals while enriching the arts curriculum and leaving behind a lasting, meaningful piece of school identity.
We create a space where every student feels safe to explore, express, and take creative risks. An art room is ideal, but we can easily adapt to a standard classroom setup to bring the experience to life wherever it’s needed.
Case Study
Winchelsea primary cohort
In a recent Winchelsea primary cohort of thirteen Grade 5–6 students:
100% improved their emotional regulation
100% reduced fear of failure and perfectionism which unlocked creative confidence
92% improved social and emotional skills
84% built stronger peer relationships and improved classroom cooperation
77% boosted self-esteem and strengthened relationships with staff
61% showed improved attendance during the program
Teachers noticed a cultural shift. Students who were withdrawn became leaders, conflict turned into collaboration, and creative risk-taking flourished.
