INCLUSION
Creativity belongs to us all
At St Martins we believe that every child deserves equal access to the arts. We also know that barriers to the arts exist for many young people due to disability, neurodivergence, learning challenges, cultural and linguistic difference, economic difficulty, gender diversity and sexual identity. Through all our programs we strive to dissolve these barriers by focusing on access, inclusion and participation.
St Martins offers a powerful space where children and teens feel they belong. We focus on each child’s strengths and build on them. Our programs are enriched by a diversity of individual experiences and world views.

Removing barriers to the Arts
St Martins acknowledges the barriers to the arts that exist for many young people that arise from:
● Disability and neurodivergence,
●Cultural and linguistic differences,
●Economic or educational disadvantage.
St Martins aims for all of our programs to be accessed by the broadest reach of young people possible. As such, we offer yearly financial scholarships (both partial and full) to eligible applicants. These can be reviewed and extended if required.
