Student Creative Team

Eligibility and selection

The Pulse Alive Student Creative team is designed to provide students with an opportunity to engage with the creative and production process and establish a greater sense of student authenticity and ownership within Pulse Alive 2024.

Students who are successful with their application will form an apprentice creative team and, with teacher support, develop their own segment to be performed at Pulse Alive 2024 by a nominated cast.

Members of the Student Creative Team will play a key role in determining the song choice, choreography, lighting, and other production elements for their segment within the show.

Nominations are open to students in Year 9 to Year 12 in 2024 who will be enrolled at a NSW public school.

Students interested in applying for the Student Creative Team should be experienced and motivated to excel in at least one area of production.

Members of the Student Creative Team may also participate in the show in one of the other categories. If interested, students should apply as appropriate to the category, in addition to their Student Creative Team application.
