Tender Details
The NSW Department of Education is interested in partnering with organisations in support of its premier performing and creative arts event, the Schools Spectacular which will be staged on 29 and 30 November 2024 at Qudos Bank Arena.
Since 1984, the Schools Spectacular 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.
Staged at Qudos Bank Arena, the Schools Spectacular is broadcast annually to over a million viewers. It is a world-class arena production and one of the largest annual events of its calibre 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.
SpecFest is the outdoor entertainment hub situated on the Qudos Bank Arena forecourt. Since its launch in 2016, SpecFest has become a quintessential part of the Schools Spectacular experience. It’s a place for families to enjoy entertainment, activities, partner experiential activations and giveaways while enjoying a range of food and beverage stalls before and after the show.
The Schools Spectacular prospectus details current opportunities for:
• Sponsorship
