This year's theme was 'every student, every voice' and celebrated student empowerment, giving them the skills and confidence they need in order to express their voices during their educational journey, according to Educational Leadership for Lithgow Network director Debbie-Lee Hughes.

"We want to bring the very best of every school to create something wonderful," she said.

She also said it gave students from the greater Lithgow Valley to meet and break barriers.

"We've got small schools and big schools coming together and we get to collaborate to showcase student voices," she said.

Students from each school also had to create artworks based around the theme of visual voice, and a student from each stage was awarded a winner.

After a morning of formalities students and guests were treated to a morning tea in the school playground.
