Strategic directions

The objectives of the Regional Conservatorium Grants Program are aligned and contribute to the following strategic directions:

  • Creative Communities: NSW Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy
  • NSW Department of Education’s Our Plan for NSW Public Education 2024-27

Creative Communities: NSW Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy

Creative Communities recognises the unique place of the arts, culture and the creative industries in NSW, the state with the largest cultural and creative workforce, the oldest and most distinctive cultural institutions, and the most diverse population.

It is an inclusive 10-year policy that supports artists, creatives and cultural organisations and importantly, expands to include, for the first time, the rapidly growing creative industries.

It considers culture a public good and the right to participate in arts, cultural and creative activities a fundamental human right.

Our Plan for NSW Public Education (2024-2027)

Our plan is built on the power of public education to provide opportunities for all and to transform lives through learning.

We believe in every student and support them to achieve their potential by enabling lifelong learning. Students will be prepared for life as informed, critical thinkers with a love of learning – ready to contribute to the world as active citizens.

Our commitment to equity and excellence means every student can learn, grow and belong at school. They do this in a safe and inclusive environment that celebrates the strength of our vibrant, diverse and multicultural community.

Our Plan for NSW Public Education outlines how we will create an equitable and outstanding education system and strengthen trust and respect for the teaching profession.
