  3. What is it? • The Victorian State Schools Spectacular is one of the largest recurring performances in Australia. It is a professionally staged production performed at Melbourne Park to an audience of over 10,000 people. • The Spectacular includes a cast of some 2,500 government school students, working towards a common goal in a collaborative, competition-free environment. • Its dual aim is to provide an invaluable performing arts opportunity to Victoria’s government school students and to showcase the enormous talent that exists in our schools. This is manifested in a 2-3 hour scripted show that celebrates a diversity of performance mediums, including choir, dance, vocal, drama and orchestra.

  4. Wodonga PS and WMYC • Both schools have a dance troupe of 20 students • Rehearsals will be held at WMYC instead of Melbourne due to both schools being involved • Able to reduce costs through the sharing of buses and accommodation.

  5. Rehearsals • May 13th to be held at WMYC. Students will be introduced to their dances as well as the finale dance • Further rehearsals – 20th July, 30th August • Teacher support at rehearsals will be: Cassie Knight (WPS) and Tanya Harvey (WMYC)
