CLASS OF 2020 – WORK EXPERIENCE
From being a wee chick at our first GTM (Gloucester NSW 2005) where students from local TAFE campuses were invited to gain insight and lend a hand with all things Moo, we’ve now grown into a full-size chicken, with involvement from stacks of education facilities around Australia.
We offer experience in Artist Liaison, Décor, Event, Production and Publicity for all the keen eggs wanting to take a crack at the festival madness!

POWDER PEN
Returning nationally in 2020 GTM’s Powder Pen will keep you looking festival fresh around the country! For a small donation, you can get a quick hair and make-up “zjoosh” thanks to local beauty, barbershop and hairdressing salons. A portion of proceeds from the Powder Pen will go back to the charity of the salons’ choice.
