The annual Schools Spectacular is an Australian variety show featuring students from various public schools across New South Wales. It is staged annually at Olympic Park Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
The performance aired on the Seven Network across Australia, including Prime7 locally and throughout regional NSW, on December 7, making its television debut.
Five Dubbo Delroy Circus West members were joined by students from Dubbo College Senior Campus and Dubbo West Primary School as part of the circus troupe entertaining inside and outside Qudos Arena.
Another seven Dubbo College students were involved in the Aboriginal dance group, and students from Dunedoo, Narromine High, Nyngan, Trangie Central and Walgett Community College were also among those involved in the grand epic performance.
Dubbo College Delroy Campus principal Debbie Head, who attended the night, said; "it was gratifying to see Delroy students selected once again for Schools Spectacular".
Ms Head said Dubbo College Delroy Campus had a strong focus on creative and performing arts.
Dubbo College Delroy Campus students involved in Circus West included Joshua Aubila, Holly Shields, Hallie Bourke, Jake Mohr and Bayleigh Wellington.
Delroy Aboriginal dancers, led by student learning support officer Doug Gordon, included Joshua Fallon, Lewis Fuller, Kyle Daley, Sovannah Doherty, Adarnna Riley-Coleman and Charlotte McGrath-Nolan. T
Two students, Kyle Daley and Holly Faulds, were part of the 30-strong Aboriginal dance company and performed an excerpt from Unaipon to celebrate the life of David Unaipon, a Ngarrindjeri man of the Warrawaldi clan, an author, inventor, philosopher, writer and storyteller, his image is on Australia's $50 note.
Maeve Sparrow and Holly Faulds from Dubbo College Senior Campus and Rachelle McLane and Amelia Percy from Dubbo West Primary School were also among the Dubbo students who performed.
To cap off Delroy's top showing, seven year seven students were also treated to be part of the audience as special guests of the Department of Education creative arts unit.
The creative arts team invited drought-impacted students from across the state to Sydney to see the Schools Spectacular, while also staying at the Narrabeen sport and recreation camp.
