At Windmill, we often have the privilege of being (one of) a child’s first experiences in the theatre. So, we want to make it count. We offer a range of opportunities for students and educators to take our stories further throughout the year.
In addition to providing dedicated schools’ performances and pricing for all South Australian seasons, we collaborate with an incredible community of artists, educators and creatives to create free resources that deepen engagement with our work.
Read on to discover what we’ve got coming up!
Professional Learning
Windmill hosts professional development workshops for educators periodically throughout the year.
Access and Inclusion
At Windmill, we want to ensure that theatre remains accessible and caters to the needs of young people from all over South Australia. Access services, including Auslan interpretation and audio description, are available upon request to all schools’ performances.
If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Outreach Education
Windmill is part of the Outreach Education group, a selection of excellent South Australian creative and cultural organisations. Find out more about some of the education programs available from our fellow Outreach organisations here.
Free Seats Program
Windmill’s Free Seats Program provides 15% of seats to every performance season free of charge to South Australian schools ranked 1-4 on the Department for Education’s Index of Disadvantage. This enables us to provide equitable access to the transformative impact that theatre and live performance has on young people.
For more information, please send us an email.
Work Experience Program
Windmill offers work experience opportunities to South Australian students in Year 10 and 11 each year. Placements often coincide with production rehearsals to give students a rich experience of what it’s like to work within an Australian theatre company. Students will learn from each department, observe rehearsals and assist with production-specific tasks, reporting to the Associate Producer.
In 2026, Windmill will be taking two students for one week-long placement during the remount of a major theatre work.
Applications for our 2026 Work Experience Program are now closed.
