The enormous entertainment extravaganza will be held at Bank Arena in Sydney's Olympic Park for four performances on Friday and Saturday, November 22-23.

Forster students will join the combined dance during this year's concert.

Schools Spectacular creative director, Sonja Sjolander said this year's theme, STARS is a tribute to everybody involved in the Schools Spectacular.

"In the Schools Spectacular, everyone is a star," Ms Sjolander said.

"We are recognised as the biggest performance of its kind in the world, and to attain this success everyone has to shine in their role.

"Together we shine brighter.

"We are all stars, whether we are the performers on stage, backstage, crew, the dedicated teachers who make everything happen for their students or the parents who devote countless hours ensuring their children have this wonderful opportunity to star in the Schools Spectacular."

Ms Sjolander said local performers will join 5500 performers drawn from public schools across the State.

The galaxy of talent includes 40 featured performers, an incredible 100-piece symphony orchestra, stage band, 2700-voice choir, 2300 amazing dancers, the D'Arts Ensemble disability program, the Aboriginal Dance Company, puppets and an indispensable behind-the-scenes team.

In the true spirit of variety, the fast-paced show will transition through a colourful choreographed kaleidoscope of music from pop and hip hop to the classics, from a crescendo of massed voices to stunning solos, and a full spectrum of dance styles.

Tickets are available through Ticketek.
