About the Schools Spectacular

Featuring 3000 of the state’s most talented singers, dancers and musicians, the Schools Spectacular is a brilliantly choreographed and costumed production on an epic scale. An annual and keenly anticipated event since 1984, it typically features:

• a 1200-voice choir
• an 80 piece orchestra
• 1500 dancers
• rock, jazz and brass bands
• talented soloists from ages 5 to 18

...all woven into a totally integrated seamless production.

Audiences that pack Sydney Entertainment Centre gain an insight into the wealth of talent in public schools, and see the dedication, commitment and creativity of the teachers who nurture that talent.

This annual entertainment showcase has launched the careers of a host of Australia’s most popular performers and has introduced tens of thousands of students from New South Wales public schools to the thrill of performing to capacity houses.

The Schools Spectacular is proudly presented by the NSW Department of Education and Training.
