Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage): Today, the Minister of Education, Chris Hipkins, and I announced the second round of Creatives in Schools. Today's announcement will see 143 schools, including 10 kura and one New Zealand Sign Language school supported to utilise the skills and knowledge of local creatives to deliver creative projects and experiences. These learning experiences stimulate students' creativity, enhance their wellbeing, and inspire young people to explore careers in the arts and creative sectors.
