Sydney North Public Schools Dance Festival

The Sydney North Public Schools Dance Festival’s mission is to provide public school students from Kindergarten to Year 12 from Metropolitan North the opportunity to perform dance in a professional theatre environment.

To this end, the festival is guided by the following principles:

• Inclusivity – this organisation aims to serve students of all ages, genders, dance experience, teachers and schools across our region.
• A reflection of the ethos and standards of public education – with particular reference to age-appropriate and gender-appropriate values.
• An understanding of dance as a performing art – within the curriculum, guided by the spirit and fundamentals of the K–12 dance syllabuses.
• An appreciation for the collaborative endeavour – of students, teachers and parents in experiencing learning in dance and realising and presenting dance performances.
• An aspiration for excellence – in all aspects of teaching and learning, performance and production.
