Mathoura Public School teacher Kacey Forbes said she was amazed by how much the cohort learnt across the three days.
“The experience was engaging and rewarding for all involved, and very well co-ordinated,” Ms Forbes said.
“Programs like this are vital because they boost students’ confidence and inspiration.
“They also provide rural students with stage experiences that are often inaccessible in the local region, making such opportunities especially valuable.”
Pulse Deniliquin was created to help public school students across far west NSW access arts resources, workshops and performing opportunities.
It is led by arts unit staff, tutors, choreographers and statewide student leaders, growing each year, with 100 more participants in 2026 than in 2025.
Ms Forbes said students couldn’t wait for the next edition.
“(It was) a key highlight seeing the students shine on stage, showcasing their talent and enthusiasm for the arts,” she said.
“We look forward to the whole school taking part next year!”
