Makeover Challenge

Know The Activity

Every child deserves to walk into a school that feels alive. One that says, through its very walls, that learning is exciting and that someone cares. The Makeover Challenge is where your team makes that happen. Working alongside professional street artists, participants transform the dull, weathered walls of a government school into bold, vibrant murals that children will walk past every single day. The Success Tea team visits the site in advance, identifies the areas for transformation, and works with the artists to sketch the designs onto the walls the night before. When your team arrives, the canvas is ready. All that is left is to pick up a brush, choose a colour, and pour your energy into something that will outlast the day by years.

Result

Teams finish the Makeover Challenge standing in front of something they made together, something colourful, alive, and permanently woven into the fabric of a school community. The creative process strips away hierarchy and inhibition in a way that few activities can. And when participants step back and see the full mural come together, knowing that children will arrive the next morning to a school that looks completely different, the pride in the room is something that no certificate or trophy can replicate.

Not even slightly. The professional street artists handle all the design and sketching in advance. Your team’s job is to bring energy and fill the colours in. The result looks stunning regardless of artistic background.

The session is designed to be completed within the activity window, with the full mural coming together progressively as teams work across different sections of the wall simultaneously.

The designs are created in collaboration with the street artists and are chosen to be meaningful, age-appropriate, and uplifting for the school’s students. Think bold colours, inspiring imagery, and visuals that make a child feel seen and celebrated.

That it is the most tangible thing they have ever made as a team. There is something deeply satisfying about a result you can photograph, point to, and say with complete honesty: we did that together, and it is going to be here long after we have gone.
