Student crew
We are seeking enthusiastic NSW public school students in Years 11 and 12 studying VET Entertainment to form members of the student crew for Pulse Alive 2025.
How to apply
Applications for student crew at Pulse Alive 2025 will open in Term 1 2025.
Initial auditions will be via video, which must be submitted with the nomination form.
To audition, students are required to:
- prepare a short video (maximum 2 minutes) outlining their interest, aptitude and experience to be considered as a member of the student crew.
- You may also choose to include examples of your work within your video.
- Videos should either be uploaded to YouTube (as an unlisted link) or Vimeo with a password (please be sure to include the password to your video on your application form).
Recommendation
Students successful in the video round will have their VET Entertainment teachers contacted for a recommendation and to confirm the school's approval for participation prior to notification.
Selected students will also be required to submit VET Entertainment Student Placement Record documentation closer to the event.
Eligibility and selection
Opportunities exist for students in Years 11 and 12 studying VET Entertainment to take up specialist opportunities including follow spot operators, audio crew, stage crew and camera operators and assistants.
All positions will have the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals and will give a great insight to students looking to pursue careers in this area of the entertainment industry.
Students currently studying the VET Entertainment course will be able to use their work at Pulse Alive to log 35 hours of industry work placement.
