Schools Spectacular 2013 @ Sydney Entertainment Centre


This year is the 30th Anniversary of the Schools Spectacular. Since 1983 this event has grown to become more than just a showcase highlighting the talents of the students of New South Wales public schools. It is an iconic cultural event incorporating students from diverse backgrounds and communities from the length and breadth of the state.

The Schools Spectacular is an Australian variety show featuring more than 3,600 students from over 400 NSW public schools and is an established and well recognised event on the Sydney live entertainment calendar.

The Schools Spectacular is a world-class arena production and one of the largest annual events of its caliber anywhere in Australia – and arguably the world. From its ability to produce national and international stars, to its role in promoting inclusiveness and reconciliation, the Schools Spectacular has no peer.



It showcases a cast of 2,000 dancers, a combined choir of 1,300 and an 80-piece full symphony orchestra.

The Schools Spectacular delivers outstanding, cutting-edge youth dance and musical performances, featuring state-of-the-art sound, lighting and staging. It is televised nationally in prime-time and also incorporates the World’s Biggest Classroom exhibition program showcasing a broader range of student talent and skill.

The Schools Spectacular is a remarkable New South Wales success story and is proudly presented by the NSW Department of Education and Communities.

              International Fleet Review 2013


              In late 2011, the Chief of Navy (CN) - Vice Admiral Ray Griggs, AO, CSC, RAN extended an invitation to over 50 nations to send a warship and/or tall ship to participate in an International Fleet Review (IFR) to be held in Sydney from 3 - 11 October 2013. The Review is being held to commemorate the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet into Sydney. On 4 October 1913 the flagship, HMAS Australia, led the new Australian Fleet Unit comprising HMA Ships Melbourne, Sydney, Encounter, Warrego, Parramatta and Yarra into Sydney Harbour for the first time to be greeted by thousands of cheering citizens lining the foreshore. This was a moment of great national pride and importance, one recognised as a key indicator of Australia's progress towards national maturity.
              The IFR is a high profile international event and Navy's signature commemorative event for 2013. Planned in partnership with the NSW State Government and the City of Sydney, it is anticipated that approximately 40 visiting warships and 12 tall ships will participate in this historic event. The RAN Sea Power Conference 2013 and Pacific 2013 International Maritime Congress and Exposition are also scheduled to take place at Darling Harbour from 7 October 2013 to coincide with the IFR.

              The current plan will see RAN and visiting warships rendezvousing in Jervis Bay, NSW by 2 October 2013 to conduct final preparations and briefings. The formal aspects of the IFR will commence with all tall ships entering Sydney Harbour on Thursday 3 October 2013 and all warships entering on Friday 4 October 2013 - exactly 100 years after the first RAN Fleet entry.
              More event information is available on the International Fleet Review 2013 web pages.
              • Date: 3 October 2013 to 11 October 2013
              • Time: Refer to the Schedule of Events below
              • Where: Various locations around Sydney, NSW
