It is the only school in the Deniliquin district network to have students accepted this year.

There are 334 public schools across NSW involved in the Schools Spectacular, with roughly 6500 students performing in the event across sixteen different categories.

Taralee Graham and Kassidy Cole will take part in the event.

It will be held at Qudos Bank Arena on November 25 and 26.

The girls will be a part of the D’Arts Ensemble, and will perform in a matinee and a night performance each day.

There will be up to four rehearsals next term before they head to Sydney for almost a week prior to performing.

The event will be televised on Channel 7 at a later date.

Taralee has previously performed in the Riverina Dance Festival and credits her ability to perform to the assistance she is given by her school dance teacher, Miss Bower.

As expected, this involvement in the Schools Spectacular will incur many expenses.

The Finley MenShed members have very generously contributed to assist.

The MenShed is also prepared to accept and pass on any donations from community members to help the young students get to Sydney.
