Big screen spectacular

Three Sunbury College students will be appearing on the big screen with their performance in the 2023 Victorian State Schools Spectacular on September 9.

The annual Schools Spectacular extravaganza performance will take place at John Cain Arena for two shows at 1pm and 6.30pm.

Students Eloise, Isobel and Ruby were chosen as principal dancers, and Sunbury College principal Craig O’Bree said it is a great honour for them and the school.

“Performing arts is very important to our school and having role models within our school means other students … will be inspired to participate in the performing arts,” Mr O’Bree said.

“It’s a great honour for our school that out of the 23 principal dance positions … three of those are from Sunbury College.

“There’s an extensive commitment by each of the students where they practise one to two times each weekend, which involves rehearsals and costumes fittings.

“It’s a great credit to the hard work and persistence of the three girls to be chosen. They are absolutely ecstatic.”

This year’s show includes more than 2000 students, and follows an intrepid group of hapless tourists as they traverse the globe in a cavalcade of circus mayhem.

Circus artists, puppeteers, musicians, singers, dancers and skaters are all included in the show, which will be broadcast at a later date.
