The New South Wales School Spectacular is the world's largest annual amateur variety show and is produced by the New South Wales Department of Education's Arts Unit. This year's event All 4 One celebrates the 41st annual staging of the event.

From producing captivating performer backstory content, crafting the opening sequences at EMG / Gravity Media's Sydney Production Centre, to a film unit travelling 3,000 kilometres throughout regional and rural New South Wales capturing the talents of the state's public school students in a specially created music video, EMG / Gravity Media Australia is delivering a comprehensive turnkey production outcome for the event.
The EMG / Gravity Media Australia undertaking involves a total television production and technical staff of 75, deploying a state-of-the-art high definition outside broadcast truck and accessing 15 broadcast and speciality cameras, including Steadicams, Jib Cranes and Spidercam, to deliver the complete television production for the New South Wales Department of Education and the Seven Network.

The care they show in the creation of the television production of the show, and their support of Arts in Education, and arts and vocational experiences, makes them highly valued in the delivery of the Spectacular annually. It has been a very rewarding partnership
Mike Purcell Head of Production, EMG / Gravity Media Australia said:
EMG / Gravity Media is proud of its almost decade long partnership with The Arts Unit on the broadcast production and facilitation of Schools Spectacular.
The level of trust and collaboration between EMG / Gravity Media and the Arts Unit is valued along with the mutual commitment in providing fresh creative and innovations to the broadcast each year.
The calibre of the performances and the event is world class.
For the EMG / Gravity Media team in Australia it is a highlight of our year to not only bring Schools Spectacular to television but also rewarding to play a part in the growth and vocational experiences of NSW Public Schools students.
