Welcome
Welcome to the 2014 Schools Spectacular, THIS IS AUSTRALIA!
Congratulations on your successful application to be a part of the show this year along with many
other schools from right across the state.
The Schools Spectacular is a world-class arena production and the largest annual event 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.
A show the size and scale of the Schools Spectacular would not be possible without the vital role
played by you, our dedicated public school teachers. It is you, the teachers from schools
participating in the show, working alongside our talented production and creative teams that allow
us to achieve the vision of the Schools Spectacular: to present a unique performance project
showcasing public school excellence – involving thousands of students supported by outstanding
teachers.
Your work allows students to develop and display their passion, creativity, ability and talents as
musicians, dancers, vocalists and entertainers to the Australian public and entertainment
industry. It also serves to provide a vehicle for students to experience the thrill of performing in
front of large audiences both live in the arena and in living rooms around the nation, and the joy
of involvement in the performing arts. Hopefully you are also invigorated through the experience.
Congratulations again on your involvement. We hope you enjoy the journey of being a part of the
2014 Schools Spectacular.

2014 Schools Spectacular
‘This is Australia’
The Schools Spectacular is a huge logistical and creative extravaganza. As such it requires a
massive amount of organisation and planning. Please take the time to read through this
Teachers’ Information Booklet carefully, it may seem the same as last year but there are
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES.
As for 2014, the full dress rehearsal will be held on Thursday afternoon of show week rather than
the Friday morning as it has been in previous years.
The Sydney Entertainment Centre has also changed names; it is now called the Qantas Credit
Union Arena and will be referred to as such throughout this pack. The other significant change
will be entry and exit points at the venue due to ongoing construction of ‘Darling Harbour Live’.
Detailed information regarding this will be distributed as it comes to hand.
This booklet has been updated and it is important to familiarise yourself with all relevant
information contained within it.

Information – Combined Dance
Including Combined Dance, Aboriginal Dance Ensemble and Boys Hip Hop Ensemble
General Rehearsal Information





There will be three to four extra dance rehearsals as well as the major combined dance
rehearsals for your segment (if the rehearsals are in school time, schools are to
provide relief). Please check the Dance Rehearsal schedule carefully to ensure you are
aware of all rehearsals you need to attend.
Any rehearsals scheduled for Wednesday 26 November are compulsory for all
schools - both metropolitan and non-metropolitan, as are all rehearsals and
performances on Thursday 27, Friday 28 and Saturday 29 November.
You must adhere strictly to the numbers that you have been allocated. In some cases it
may be necessary to have a reserve in case of injury or illness.
A YouTube link will be provided in some cases or it may be organised with the
choreographer that some dancers from the group learn the piece and then teach the
choreography to the rest of the group if they are unavailable to attend rehearsals.
Choreographic copyright – please seek permission from the choreographer if you wish to
use the piece at other times, such as school concerts.
Music



Dance Rehearsal Tracks are recorded to assist teachers in preparation of dance items in
the show.
Musical arrangements will have the same form and feel as the tracks. Be aware that the
live performance will never be an exact replication of the recorded version.
All tracks will be distributed electronically – we will not be creating CD versions in 2014.
Costumes






The costume coordinator this year is Kirsten Dickason. She will oversee the design
component in collaboration with Laurel Barranikow, who has been designing costumes
since the first Schools Spectacular in 1984.
Kirsten Dickason will liaise between the choreographer and the school contact teacher to
ensure that all schools have the correct information in a timely fashion.
The costume information will be communicated to the contact teacher of the school.
Schools are responsible for payment of their allocated costumes.
Every effort will be made to keep costume costs to a minimum and, where appropriate,
options will be provided.
Schools with costume concerns should contact Kirsten Dickason by email at
[email protected].
Finale



A YouTube teaching video of the finale will be available from the start of Term 4. Schools
will need to learn the choreography by the First Combined Rehearsal. Choreography for
the finale will NOT be taught on this day.
A Finale Pack will be given to you at the First Combined Rehearsal. This pack will include
information about placement on the arena.
Please make sure you familiarise yourself and your students with your school’s
placement, entrance and exits.

Information – Combined Choir
General Information


Within the choir, schools are graded and are allocated places according to musical
balance and seating constraints. Numbers are such as to give more schools a chance
and to ensure balanced vocal parts.
Any queries regarding the choir should be directed to Ian Jefferson, Choral Director.
Music




Choir music will be available at the end of Term 3 or the beginning of Term 4. Students
and staff should bring their music to all rehearsals.
Recordings of each of the choir parts are created to assist teachers in preparation of their
choirs. Choir teachers will be contacted about the distribution of these recordings later in
Term 3.
Choir Teachers will also receive the link to download the Dance Rehearsal Tracks along
with their Teachers Information Pack. This will give teachers and students a sense of the
music in context.
Musical arrangements will have the same form and feel as the Dance tracks. Be aware
that the live performance will never be an exact replication of the recorded version.
Choir Position


The central choir will be on raised scaffolding at the back of the arena in one group.
The primary arena choir and the secondary arena choir will be in two blocks in audience
seats on either side of the main arena.
Numbers



Please adhere strictly to the numbers you have been allocated. Do not bring extra
students as it is very disappointing for them when they cannot be accommodated.
If, as the show approaches, you know you will not meet the allocated number, please
contact Ian Jefferson so that other students or schools who are currently on reserve lists
may be given the opportunity to perform.
Teachers and helpers are required to sit and sing with students, and wear choir costume.
Choir Rehearsals





All metropolitan choirs are required to attend all combined choir rehearsals for their
section.
Choirs from close non-metropolitan areas should attend if possible.
All choir members MUST attend the final rehearsal on Wednesday 26 November for their
section, the full dress rehearsal on Thursday 27 November and each performance.
At all rehearsal venues it is advisable that students bring their own drinks, snacks and
lunch with them.
Facilities, if available, are limited at all rehearsal venues.
Page | 9
What to Bring to the Entertainment Centre



Please encourage students to leave valuables at home, and to keep money in a small
purse that can be carried in a pocket.
Secondary Arena Choir and Primary Arena Choir students can keep a small backpack or
bag under their seat at the Entertainment Centre.
Core and Central Choir members will NOT be able to have anything with them on the
choir seating. There will be a tent provided for storage of Central Choir student’s
gear. Money or valuables should NOT be left in bags and all bags and clothing should be
labelled.
Costume




The costume is likely to be the same as previous years. Ian Jefferson will be in touch
regarding the specifics of the costume in the coming weeks.
Each teacher is responsible for ensuring that his or her group is fully costumed according
to the design.
Teachers performing in the choir will also need choir costume.
There will be a cost of $15 per student for a costume addition to be worn over the base
costume. You will be contacted by Ian Jefferson to discuss payment for this item.

It is compulsory for featured artists and backing vocalists to attend all the rehearsals
required by the Director, the Musical Director and the Dance Director.
Should any clashes occur, featured artists should contact Peter Hayward immediately.

Teachers are to make the students from their schools aware that they are representing
not only their school but Public Education. As such they are expected to behave
professionally at all times.
Students have been sent an information pack which contains details of their involvement.
It is important that Featured Artists are considerate and respectful towards others at all
times to ensure that everybody has a fulfilling and rewarding experience. Students must
remember the Schools Spectacular is a team effort and there is no room for ‘stars’.
Supervision of Featured Artists

Supervision is organised for Featured Artists at all rehearsals and performances however
they must take care to always sign in and out of all rehearsals and performances.

Arena including scheduling will be emailed to you on Monday 13 October.
ALL METROPOLITAN SCHOOL GROUPS in Combined Dance should be prepared to attend this
rehearsal from 9.00am - 4.00pm.
Arrival Procedure




Teachers need to sign-on at the registration desk on arrival, entering through Gate F.
This is the only access point for schools on this day. Gate F is on the Paddy’s Market side
of the Qantas Credit Union Arena, just down from McDonalds.
After signing on, teachers should then bring their students through the marked student
entry, and then into the auditorium through Door 5. This is the only access door to the
auditorium that should be used on this day. All other doors in the building are alarmed.
Schools should then move to the section allocated in the auditorium for their
segment/group. Teachers need to check the map of the centre located at the sign-on
desk to see where you will be seated. Members of the Production Team will be present to
assist you in finding your allocated area.
School groups should stay in their allocated seating in the auditorium at all times to allow
easy communication between teachers and choreographers.
Segment Rehearsal




Your group must be changed into suitable rehearsal clothes and be waiting ready to
rehearse 30 minutes prior to the time indicated on the schedule.
Note that dressing rooms are not available for use at this rehearsal.
Some groups may be required to rehearse in the Jack Neary Room before their rehearsal
on the main arena floor. Please check the schedule carefully.
Listen carefully to all announcements regarding rehearsals as changes may occur at any
time.
The Finale



The finale rehearsal will take place in the middle of the day’s schedule. All school groups
are expected to attend the finale rehearsal even if their group’s segment is not scheduled
to rehearse on this day.
It is anticipated that all information for the finale will be available for collection at the First
Combined Dance Rehearsal. Please read the finale information well in advance of your
scheduled rehearsal time so that your students are aware of their entrance/exit points.
For the finale rehearsal on this day, your students must be in their Schools Spectacular
T-Shirt, which you will receive when you arrive at the rehearsal.
P a g e | 17
Other Information


There will not be any formal lunch breaks during the rehearsal schedule. Students and
teachers are asked to bring snacks, lunch and a drink with them. Each year we have piles
of rubbish to pick up in the seating area. Please make sure that ALL RUBBISH IS
REMOVED BY YOUR STUDENTS!
Please ensure that students do not sit or move past the walkway crossover level into the
second seating tier of the venue
Duty of Care Issues




Teachers are responsible for their students at all times, both inside and outside the
venue.
Please ensure that students conduct themselves appropriately at all times and are not left
waiting on their own for parents or guardians to collect them after rehearsals and
performances.
Teachers must ensure that they adhere to the Department of Education and Communities
Guidelines as to the safety and treatment of students.
Teachers should ensure they have familiarised themselves with the Department of
Education and Communities’ excursions policy and have completed appropriate risk
management procedures necessary for these excursions.
P a g e | 18

D’Arts Ensemble and Boys Hip Hop Ensemble are required to attend this rehearsal. All schools in
the Combined Choir will also be involved in this rehearsal on Thursday.

Union Arena and the same rehearsal format will continue in 2014.
The rehearsal will be split over two days:
1:00pm – 7:00pm
8:30am – 12:30pm

Please note: A number of schools have rehearsals at satellite venues on Wednesday 26
November. The schedule at the Qantas Credit Union Arena on Wednesday will take this into
account.
There are rehearsals for some allocated groups in the Jack Neary Room followed by rehearsals
on the main arena floor.
All rehearsals over these two days will be FULL DRESS REHEARSALS. Please ensure all

Travel Subsidy Information
Travel Subsidy Online Form due: Friday 19 September 2014
A travel subsidy is available to assist students travelling further than 100km from their school in
order to take part in the 2014 Schools Spectacular.
A formula has been developed based upon a six band kilometre radius from Sydney to utilise
travel subsidy funds in the most equitable manner. The subsidy amount paid is not influenced
by the road distance, actual costs, or means of transport and is a one off payment for
each student.
How to claim a subsidy
To claim a travel subsidy for school groups, you will need to complete an online application
form by Friday 19 September. LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
A link to this online application form will be sent out by Peter Hayward in the coming weeks.
Numbers of performers per school have been strictly allocated and cannot be increased under
any circumstances.
Once Travel Subsidy forms are processed, the subsidy will be paid to the school by direct deposit
in early 2015. SUBSIDIES WILL NOT BE PAID IN ADVANCE.
The details on the form must be completed accurately and fully. If the form is not completed
correctly it may result in delays in processing.

A group ticket order form was sent to all schools in early August. Additional forms may be
downloaded from The Arts Unit website. Schools have a priority booking period for three weeks,
from 11-29 August, however this form is still able to be used to order group tickets till the 10
October or until sold out. This ticket form is to be sent to the Ticketek address on the order
form. Note that the orders are processed in order of receipt of the cheque and NOT the date the
form was faxed. Please do not send these forms and cheques to The Arts Unit.
Helping to promote the show is the responsibility of everyone who is involved. Please encourage
family, friends and all members of the school community to book early using the group ticket
order form.
Preview Performance
Tickets to the Schools Preview Performance are available by using the preview booking form.
Schools receive one complimentary ticket for supervising teachers per fifteen paying students.
Complimentary teachers tickets are calculated per full group of 15 (e.g. 12 students = 0
complimentary tickets, 16 students = 1 complimentary ticket, 30 students = 2 complimentary
tickets). These forms must also be sent directly to the address on the form and extra forms may
be downloaded from The Arts Unit website.
Public Bookings
Tickets may also be purchased directly through Ticketek. Tickets will be on sale for the general
public from Tuesday 2 September. This year, the preview performance will also be on limited
sale to the public.
PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE SHOW DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE
A TICKET

Security
Security at the Schools Spectacular is a high priority, which requires cooperation from all
involved with the show. Whilst every endeavour is made to minimise inconvenience to the staff
and students during the event, the security team at the show are expected to maintain a secure
environment.
All teachers and helpers are given security passes to gain access to the Qantas Credit Union
Arena and backstage areas. Each school group is allowed a maximum of two helpers. Security
passes MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES whilst in the centre. Failure to do so backstage may
result in a request to leave.
All students must be security stamped at the door on first arrival, and will be checked for the
stamp periodically.
On first arrival at the venue, teachers accompanying groups are required to register at the sign-in
desk and hand in a list of the students in attendance.
Teachers then collect their information and security passes BEFORE bringing their students
through the student entry nearby. Security will check passes of teachers and helpers and stamp
the hands of the students. Please remember, THE ONLY ACCESS FOR SCHOOLS is through
the PERFORMERS ENTRY near Gate F.
Students must keep their bags in their possession at all times or have them in the designated
area or they may be removed.
Security Passes
Online Form due 12 September
Security Passes for contact teachers are photo passes. Other teachers and helpers do not
require photo passes. Each contact teacher will be given 2 helper passes ONLY; it is the contact
teacher’s responsibility to distribute these to their fellow teachers/helpers. Extra passes will NOT
be handed out.
Please complete the Online Security Pass form no later than Friday 12 September. The link
to this form will be emailed out in the coming weeks.
Teachers who had their security photo taken in 2012 and/or 2013 may not necessarily need to
submit a photo in 2014. Teachers who need to submit a photograph will need to submit it using
the online Security Pass form. PLEASE NOTE: Photos are ONLY required for coordinating
teachers – not helpers.

Spectacular Promotion team. As part of the publicity strategy for the show, the Schools
Spectacular Team needs to know about any stories within your school groups that may be of
interest to the media.

opportunities they have organised themselves.

CORE RULES OF DISCIPLINE FOR STUDENTS
The Arts Unit is a specialist unit within the New South Wales Department of Education and
Communities that provides a unique range of opportunities across all of the performing and visual
arts, including dance, drama, music, visual arts and public speaking and debating to the students
and teachers in NSW Government Schools. The Schools Spectacular will implement the Arts
Unit Core Rules of Discipline for all students.
1. Statement
The Core Rules of Discipline for students participating in arts-based programs, events or
activities conducted by The Arts Unit provides a clear statement of the NSW Department of
Education and Communities’ expectations of students.
2. Relevance
The Core Rules of Discipline apply to students enrolled in NSW Government Schools, who are
selected or nominate to participate in arts-based programs, events or activities in respect to their
conduct whilst participating in such programs, events or activities conducted by or for the
Department. For the purposes of the Schools Spectacular, these Core Rules of Discipline also
apply to members of the Talent Development Project who have left school.
The Core Rules of Discipline have been developed as a means of ensuring the safety of ALL
students who participate in arts-based programs. Students must comply with the Core Rules of
Discipline at all times whilst participating in the arts-based activity. Participation in arts-based
activities is not mandatory for students in government schools, and a student who is unwilling to
agree to comply with the Core Rules of Discipline will not be approved to participate in the artsbased activity.
3. Definition
‘Student’ means any students enrolled in a NSW Government School participating in programs,
events or activities coordinated by The Arts Unit.
‘The Department’ means the NSW Department of Education and Communities.
Core Rules of Discipline in Government Schools
Students participating in programs, events or activities conducted by The Arts Unit will adhere to
the Core Rules of Discipline in NSW Government Schools.
Prior to participation in a program, event or activity, the parent or carer of the student must sign
an agreement acknowledging the Core Rules of Discipline and the student’s willingness to
comply with them.
Students must:
a)
Comply with instructions given by teachers at all times. Attend every day required, unless
they are legally excused, and be at the program, event or activity on time and be
prepared to actively participate and learn.
b)
Maintain a neat appearance, including adhering to the requirements of the program, event
or activities uniform, dress or costume requirements.
c)
Behave safely, considerately and responsibly, including when travelling to and from the
program, event or activity.
d)
Show respect at all times for program, event or activity coordinators, teachers, other
school staff, tutors, and helpers, including following rules specific to the program, event or
activity, speaking courteously and cooperating with instructions and learning activities.
e)
Treat other students and adults involved in the activity with dignity and respect.
f)
Care for property belonging to themselves, the venue and others.
P a g e | 46
Note: The Department has a duty of care to all students, and provides a safe and secure learning
environment for all of its students, including where the student is involved in an approved activity
away from his or her school. Behaviour by a student that affects the safety of others, such as
harassment, bullying, violence and illegal or anti-social behaviour of any kind will not be
tolerated. This includes but is not limited to smoking, consumption of alcohol and possession or
use of illegal drugs.
Consequences for student breaches of these Core Rules of Discipline at a program, event
or activity conducted by The Arts Unit
The Manager of The Arts Unit, in consultation with the relevant school Principal, may deal with
any breaches of this code by imposing appropriate consequences which may include exclusion
from the program, event or activity.
Serious breaches of the code may also be subject to discipline in accordance with policies
outlined in the document Students Discipline in Government Schools
https://detwww.det.nsw.edu.au/policies/student_serv/discipline/stu_discip_gov/
As a result of a breach of the Core Rules of Discipline, a student may face disciplinary action at
his or her school. In cases of serious misbehaviour by a student, including but not limited to
violence or possession of illegal drugs, this may result in suspension or expulsion.
