Local Students to Shine in This Year's Schools Spectacular

NSW Department of Education

The state's biggest showcase of public education's creativity and performing arts is turning 40, and students from North and North Western Sydney public schools are joining the 'Fabulous' party.

The students have been chosen to perform at this year's Schools Spectacular - the world's largest amateur variety show and one of NSW public education's flagship arts events.

They will join a cast of thousands of public school students from on stage at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 November for a 'Fabulous' display of youth dance and musical performances.

The North and North Western Sydney schools participating in the show across a range of categories are listed below.

The theme this year is 'Fabulous' and celebrates a show that has wowed its audiences for 40 years since its first performance to celebrate the opening of Darling Harbour's Entertainment Centre in 1983.

This year's show will feature a 2,600-person voice choir, 2,300 dancers, an 80-piece symphony orchestra, the signing choir, stage band, specialist ensembles and VET crew all under the guidance of more than 600 teachers.

Executive producer, Richard Spiewak, said the one-of-a-kind production gives thousands of public-school students the opportunity to be challenged and engaged through the performing arts.

"The Schools Spectacular is just that – a spectacular display of the incredibly talented students and staff in our public schools," Mr Speak said.

"To be chosen to perform at this world-class event is not only testament to their talent, but also an opportunity for students to nurture their love for performing while working alongside some of the finest talents in the entertainment industry.

"Congratulations to all the students who have been selected to perform at this year's event – it is going to be fabulous," he said.
