WORK EXPERIENCE

NIDA is pleased to offer work experience to high school students. 

Applications for Work Experience in 2008 have now closed.

The NIDA Work Experience Program provides an opportunity for high school students to observe and, where possible, participate in first year classes, rehearsals and workshops in either Acting, Design, Properties or Costume.  

Placement in the program is highly competitive and applicants are reviewed on the basis of the information provided on the application form, ensuring equal opportunities for male and female students from all types of school systems, and from regional and metropolitan areas.

(NOTE: Due to the nature of the classes, participation is generally limited to observation for work experience students, especially during rehearsal periods.)

Placement in the NIDA Work Experience Program is subject to the following:

  • The NIDA Work Experience Program runs from February to June only.
  • NIDA only accepts participants from formally arranged school programs.
  • Applicants need to be studying at least one subject related to the performing arts.
  • A maximum of two students per school will be accepted.
  • Students will not be offered placement during NIDA holidays (14 - 25 April 2008).

Each student will be allocated five successive days work experience at NIDA. Please note that due to the high volume of applications, all students should seek alternative arrangements in case their application is not successful.

Classes begin at 9.00am for work experience students and conclude at 4.00pm, with a one hour lunch-break.

Should you have further queries, please contact the Work Experience Coordinator at FULL-TIME COURSE APPLICATIONS using the contact form or call (02) 9697 7610.

Applications 2008 for Acting and Costume close Friday 8 February.
Applications for Design and Properties close 29 February 2008.
All applications will be reviewed after this date and offers made in the following weeks.
