Published on 27 February, 2006
Up to 20 Rockhampton performing arts students will fill assistant production roles for Melbourne's Commonwealth Games, which start in mid-March.
The Bachelor of Performing Arts students (pictured) from Central Queensland University are being seconded for industry experience with the river stage events, medal ceremony staging and the staging and management of the opening and closing ceremonies.
BPA Program Leader Dr Emma Killion said the BPA degree now includes Events, Leisure and Entertainment as a core component, giving the Commonwealth Games secondments relevance beyond their performing arts aspects.
The Commonwealth Games is one of several industry placements on the books for BPA students this year.
