The school spectacular showcases over 5,500 performing arts students.
Eight Young Circus West artists representing Delroy Campus, Senior Campus, and Dubbo West Public School performed Unicycle, Acrobatics, Drama, and Fire twirling in the main arena of Qudos Arena, in the main show, as well as being a featured group in the outside event, Spec Fest. Maeve Sparrow, Joshua Aubila, Bayleigh Wellington, Hallie Bourke, Jacob Mohr, Holly Shields, Rachelle McLane, and Amelia Percy performed in seven different shows, a culmination of eight months of work.
Circus West directors Paul Woodhead, David Walsh, and Jemima Hall, from Dubbo West primary school, Wellington primary school and Delroy Campus collaborated with Allie Gunston of Nepean CAPAHS and the NSW Department of Education Arts Unit to create the circus segments for the 2019 Spectacular.
Dubbo College executive principal Andrew Jones said he was very proud of the large number of college students involved in this year's spectacular.
"Their selection for the Schools Spectacular was testament to our commitment to performing arts and the talent of our students," he said.
"Our Dubbo College students were part of the 5500-strong cast of circus artists, dancers, singers and musicians from age five to 18.
"The Schools Spectacular presented these students with a great opportunity to learn from highly accomplished teachers and to work with like-minded students from throughout New South Wales."
