Whether it’s a flautist from Forbes, a tenor from Tibooburra or a rapper from the Riverina, the Schools Spectacular team is aiming to unearth the talent of regional and remote public school students.
Schools Spectacular executive producer Richard Spiewak said this year there was a particular focus on encouraging participation from all corners of the State and increasing the range of activities students could be involved with.
Mr Spiewak said this would include work experience opportunities for students studying hospitality, entertainment, construction and design. “Often our more remote and rural students think Schools Spectacular is an event for those near Sydney,” Mr Spiewak said.
“We want to unearth and encourage students and schools with a passion for the performing arts and theatre to be part of Schools Spectacular, no matter where they live.
“So whether you live on a farm at the back of Bourke or in Blacktown we want to encourage students to nominate.”
Nominations are now open until April 6 for students and schools wanting to be involved with the show that will be held on 24th and 25th November. Full details can be found on the website.
