Sunbury College students will be taking centre stage at this year’s State Schools Spectacular.
In 2024, the school had four students take part in the show. This year, Sunbury College has doubled its presence in the spectacular, with eight students selected.
Principal Craig O’Bree congratulated the students on being selected.
“Each of these students’ contributions to the college’s performing arts program is significant, with students regularly singing, acting and dancing in music, dance and drama classes and performances,” he said.
Ruby Edwards, Elosie and Isobel Henry, Macy Harvie, Mila Morison and Ava Quarrell were all selected as principal dancers, Jynx Bailey was selected for the lighting team and Travis Boase was selected to be a part of the selective principal vocalists, a role he performed in for last year’s performance as well.
The State Schools Spectacular, now in its 30th year, gives students across Victorian government schools the chance to showcase their talents in a variety of ways.
Schools can participate as part of the mass dance and mass choir ensembles, while individual students can audition for the main vocals, dance or orchestra, or as an independent performer.
Students can also gain hands-on experience in production roles such as state management, lighting, audio, vision and other behind-the-scenes roles.
The State Schools Spectacular will take place on Saturday, September 13, followed by a television broadcast aired in December.
