Tullamore's first of many Pulse Alive performances

Tullamore Central School have experienced their first Pulse Alive performance and already can't wait to do it all again. The NSW Department of Education Arts Unit initiative 'Pulse Alive' is now in its fourth year with 5000 students from across the state taking part in performances over two massive nights. The large-scale performing arts event showcases the talents of students from kindergarten to Year 12 from public schools in Sydney and around the state. Ten Tullamore Central School students had the opportunity to be part of the massed choir with 1000 students. Tullamore students were accompanied by Tullamore Central School principal Kelly Jesser and two teachers. They all made their way to Sydney by train to perform in this large-scale production at Sydney Olympic Park's Ken Rosewell Arena. "This was such an incredible opportunity for students from small, rural and often isolated communities to be a part of," Tullamore Central School principal Kelly Jesser said. "For our kids to be part of something involving schools from all over the state, sent a strong message that while we may come from a small school, we are in fact part of a much larger statewide system that is NSW Public Education." Tullamore Central students were amazed to see the sheer scale of the event and felt privileged to be part of the incredible opportunity. "We look forward to Pulse Alive becoming an annual fixture in our yearly planner moving forward as an opportunity to continue to inspire our students to not only engage in creative and performing arts, but to embrace opportunities to step outside of their comfort zone," Ms Jesser added. In this event there was also two more students from the Parkes Shire who had the opportunity to perform. Siblings Oliver and Isabella Hughes were two of the 248 principal performers who performed over the two massive nights. The siblings performed as part of the NSW Pulse Alive Dance Company in two sold out shows of 10,000 people. Continuing from this event both Oliver and Isabella will be part of upcoming Pulse Alive tours. The tours are a chance for the Pulse team to take the experience of the Pulse Alive event to regional areas via the Pulse Alive tours. Oliver is currently on the Pulse Sunraysia tour which started Tuesday, 1 April and continued to Thursday, 3 April. Isabella is part of the Pulse Broken Hill tour which will be held from Tuesday to Thursday, 20-22 May.
