Keeping the Beat. 2025 Year in Review
Keeping the Beat. 2025 Year in Review
The Song Room’s 2025 Year in Review is a celebration of how, together, we kept the beat for young people across Australia.
In a challenging year across education, one thing remained clear: children need more than academic achievement to thrive. They need confidence, creativity, connection and the full spectrum of human capabilities to navigate an increasingly complex world.
That’s why ‘Keeping the Beat’ became our guiding rhythm in 2025. The arts continued to play a powerful role in helping young people collaborate, problem‑solve, express themselves and build the social‑emotional skills that sit at the heart of lifelong learning.
And thanks to the dedication of our team, our Teaching Artists, our partners and supporters, 2025 was a year of remarkable impact and joy.
Highlights include:
- 7,848 students reached
- Over 300 teachers supported
- 88 schools and early years centres participated
- 70 expert Teaching Artists employed
In 2025, we didn’t just keep the beat, we helped thousands of young people find their rhythm and their voice.
Their stories, achievements and creative journeys fill this year’s review, and we’re proud to share them with you.
