Star Struck

25 June 2025

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in Star Struck 2025 for delivering the biggest and most successful show yet. Remixed Volume 33 brought together over 4200 students, more than 500 teachers, and four completely sold-out performances at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre. It was a truly unforgettable celebration of talent, teamwork and the power of public education. Presented by the NSW Department of Education, Star Struck is an annual performing arts showcase that gives students from across Newcastle, the Hunter and Central Coast regions the chance to shine. From Kindergarten to Year 12, students wowed audiences with incredible performances in dance, drama and music. Star Struck is more than just a show. It provides meaningful opportunities for students to build confidence, develop new skills and share their passion for the arts. It brings together young people from all kinds of schools and backgrounds to create something truly special. A huge thank you to every student, teacher, parent and supporter who made this year's event such a success. Your hard work and enthusiasm are what make Star Struck so magical. Congratulations to all the schools who took part.
