ACS CAPA grant information
As most of you may be aware, in 2018 Armidale Catholic Schools introduced the new support of Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) grant that is available for all Primary and Secondary schools. The CAPA grant is a funding model that provides opportunities for schools or outside programs to design experiences that extend our young people's learning in this curriculum area. Further information can be found through the staff portal under the Mission & Learning Central; Curriculum; Creative Arts. Many examples on the CAPA website provide creative ways to implement this CAPA funding initiative into your school. Please feel free to get in contact with Heidi Hardaker hlebrocq@arm.catholic.edu.au if you have any further questions or requires upport throughout the application process.
