Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea has congratulated local performers who participated in this year’s Schools Spectacular on being part of the biggest-ever show in the entertainment icon’s 33-year history.

Mr O’Dea said performers from the Davidson electorate were joined by more than 5,000 students from some 500 public schools across the state on the QUDOS Bank Arena stage at Sydney’s Olympic Park over four shows on Friday, 25 November and Saturday, 26 November.

“This year’s Schools Spectacular theme was ‘Dream Big’, which is appropriate because it was the biggest show ever produced,” Mr O’Dea said.

“Congratulations to all participating students. I know that both students and teachers work incredibly hard throughout the year to ensure the high quality of the performances.”

Mr O’Dea, who is also the Parliamentary Secretary for Major Events and Tourism said, “The Schools Spectacular has already forged a reputation as a state significant event and this year’s offering took it to a whole new level.”

Congratulations to the following local participating schools:

  • Davidson High School
  • Mimosa Public School
  • Roseville Public School
  • Sir Eric Woodward Memorial School
  • St Ives Public School

Students from the Davidson electorate shared the stage with some of the state’s most talented young performers including a 2,700 strong choir; 2,300 dancers; an 80-piece symphony orchestra; a world-class stage band and nearly 40 outstandingly talented solo performers.
