St George Performing Arts Festival (SPAF)
Celebrating Public Education
The St George Performing Arts Festival is an exciting series of concerts that celebrate the incredible talents of primary school students from the St George area and surrounding communities. The festival features a vibrant mix of choirs, dance groups, bands, and other musical ensembles, alongside captivating visual art displays.
Each concert Acacia, Banksia, and Casuarina showcases a diverse range of performances, with a variety of participating school.
This festival not only highlights the remarkable performing arts talents of our young students but also provides a special platform to exhibit the outstanding work of our gifted visual arts students. A selection of excellent student artwork will be proudly displayed on the auditorium screen throughout the concerts and on the website.
We warmly encourage all schools involved in the St George Performing Arts Festival to participate in this creative initiative by submitting their visual art displays, helping to make the event an inspiring celebration of the arts.
