SCHOOL INCURSIONS
Bring Spare Parts Puppet Theatre directly to your school.
2027 Schools Incursions
In 2027, choose from two distinctive touring experiences available to schools across Perth and regional Western Australia.
Proudly Touring WA for 45 years
For 45 years, Spare Parts Puppet Theatre has brought live performance to young people across Western Australia.
From metropolitan schools to regional communities, our touring productions give students the chance to experience professional puppetry and storytelling in their own school environment. We believe every child should have access to memorable live performance, no matter where they live or how far their school may be from a theatre.
Our school incursions bring artists, stories and imaginative worlds directly to students, creating shared experiences that can spark curiosity, conversation and new ways of seeing the world.
Extend the Learning
Keep the conversation going back in the classroom with our Creative Learning Packs
Our Creative Learning Packs are developed by teachers, for teachers, with curriculum-linked activities, discussion prompts and creative exercises to support learning before and after the performance. These resources help educators build on the themes explored during the incursion, encouraging students to make connections with their own experiences and classroom learning.
“The teacher resources are particularly excellent and thorough. I will definitely keep the pack for ideas in other learning areas.”
— Teacher, Bicton Primary School
Get Hands-On with a Puppetry Workshop
Why not make the most of our visit with a hands-on puppetry workshop at your school?
Led by our experienced puppeteers and teaching artists, these interactive sessions invite students to discover how puppets are made, brought to life and used to tell stories. Through creative making, movement and performance, students develop practical skills while building confidence, collaboration and creative thinking.
Available as a standalone school incursion or alongside selected touring performances, our workshops offer a fun and engaging way to connect the performing arts with classroom learning.
