Star Struck, School Reports and Happy Holidays

Star Struck

Star Struck is a NSW Department of Education annual performing arts event for Newcastle, the Hunter and Central Coast. It is a showcase of dance, drama and music performed by students from Kindergarten to Year 12 from a vast network of NSW public schools.  Congratulations to the students from our Support Unit and Aboriginal Dance Group who were involved in this wonderful event this year.

Star Struck provides performance and learning opportunities for students in the arts and fosters an appreciation of the performing arts. The program brings together students from very small Primary Schools to large comprehensive High Schools from diverse backgrounds. Students have the opportunity to participate as part of combined dance, drama or choir.

Star Struck is one of the largest performance events presented in the area and, as such, enjoys immense local support from the community, which we are extremely proud to have been a part of in 2023.   A huge thank you to all our parents, carers and staff who supported our students through being ‘star struck’ this year.
