More than 830 district students come together for two days of workshops, culminating in two spectacular performances on Thursday.
This included students from Barooga Public School, Blighty Public School, Finley High School, Finley Public School, Jerilderie Public School and Oaklands Central School.
The aim of the NSW Department of Education Art Unit’s program is to inspire students to excel.
Performing to more than 800 people across the showcases, it was hailed a resounding success.
Before the showcase, students from Kinder to Year 12 were engaged in workshops in drama, dance, music and film.
Pulse was the perfect lead in for this week’s NSW Public Education Week, which is designed to celebrate the role schools play in inspiring the leaders of tomorrow.
The 2026 theme is ‘Inspiring Excellence’.
The week highlights a shared commitment to providing high-quality learning opportunities and ensuring every student can achieve their personal best.
Local educational priorities focus on strengthening literacy and numeracy outcomes, supporting student wellbeing, promoting inclusion, and creating pathways that prepare young people for future study, employment and active citizenship.
These priorities align with the NSW Department of Education’s commitment to equity, excellence and student success.
Public Education Week also celebrates the strong partnerships between schools, families and the wider community that contribute to student achievement.
Across the next three pages, you can learn more about how local schools are celebrating and supporting our children in their education.
While this week is aimed at NSW public education, some non-government schools have also chosen to take part in this feature.
