Students from Years 4, 5 and 6 will represent the school under the guidance of music teacher Belinda Trounce.
This year marks the largest event in the 33-year history of this popular extravaganza, to be held on November 25 and 26 at its brand new home, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney's Olympic Park.
To mark the move to western Sydney this year’s Schools Spectacular will feature a 2700-strong choir, 2300 dancers, an 80-piece symphony orchestra, a world-class stage band and a huge number of outstanding solo performers known as Featured Artists.
Students from metropolitan, rural and remote regions of NSW, from varying ages, cultures, skills and socio-economic backgrounds will all be showcased.
Schools Spectacular’s Creative Director Sonja Sjolander said the standard of this year’s auditions was outstanding.
“I have never experienced anything like this year’s auditions,” Ms Sjolander said.
“I am totally in awe of the talent we have in NSW public schools.”
The western schools announced are among the 310 schools that have so far been chosen for the 2016 Schools Spectacular.
